Last summer, Vaidas Nartautas, 23, of Maidenhall Road, Luton, was among dozens of partygoers at an illegal gathering in the midst of the national lockdown. 

In the early hours of Sunday 14th June, officers from Bedfordshire Police were called to reports of a party in Underwood Close, Luton.

When officers arrived at the location, people were spilling onto the streets. Police have said the numbers were well in excess of those permitted under the coronavirus regulations at the time.

Nartautas was aggressive to the officers in attendance and repeatedly challenged two of them.

As his friends attempted to take him away, Nartautas threw the glass he was drinking from at one of the officers.

The officer suffered a nasty cut to the head that needed to be stitched at hospital. 

Last week, Nartautas pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm without intent.

On Thursday 14th January, he was sentenced at Luton Crown Court to eight months in prison.

Assistant Chief Constable Sharn Basra said:

 “It is so important we all continue to play our part and stick to the rules around coronavirus, staying at home wherever we can.

“Too often during this pandemic our officers have had to face verbal and even physical abuse while attempting to do their bit to save people’s lives.

“We will take action against anyone who blatantly flouts these rules – and come down especially hard on those who assault any of our officers while they carry out their duties.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

    If he served the 8 months, that would be good. He will probably be out in less than 4. An important unanswered question is whether this character is British. If he is, fair enough. If not, he must be deported.
