Sports Minister Glenn Blakeney's son was spared jail after he admitted assaulting a Police officer and using threatening words.

Jahmel Blakeney, 28, was arrested early Sunday morning at Docksiders Pub and Restaurant after he hurled insults at two officers.

Blakeney, of Stovell Bay Road, Pembroke, appeared in Magistrates' Court [FRIDAY] with lawyer Charles Richardson and was fined $1,000 for each count.

The court heard from Crown counsel Nicole Smith that at 2.25 a.m. on August 9, Police officers were called into Docksiders after a disturbance was reported.

As one officer made his way through the crowd, he heard a black man say "f**k man, you stepped on my foot".

Ms Smith said the officer told Blakeney that it wasn't intentional and continued to move through the crowd.

But as another officer followed behind, Blakeney said "f**k you".

"The officer told him to calm down or he would be arrested. He then said "f**k you, you p*****s".

Ms Smith said the officers then tried to arrest Blakeney but he behaved in a "violent manner" and began flailing himself around, preventing the officers from handcuffing him.

More Police officers got involved to put the handcuffs on the defendant but when they still couldn't, the officers used pepper spray.

When he was finally arrested, Blakeney was taken to the Hamilton Police Station where he received treatment for the effects of the spray.

At the Police station, Blakeney refused to comply with officers but calmed down after a few hours and gave them the necessary information to process and charge him.

Speaking before sentencing, Ms Smith said: "This is a serious incident because it is indicative of a blind disregard for authority and Police."

She said Blakeney should receive three months imprisonment.

Mr. Richardson said although his client has previous convictions, none of them were for assaulting a Police officer. He added his violent convictions were mostly from Juvenile Court.

"It is my belief that a fine, and maybe even a period of probation would be fine," he said.

Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner said: "These types of offences must be dealt with a deterrent and is determined by the same Criminal Code Amendment Act. One of the most effective ways of dealing with a deterrent is by an immediate custodial sentence.

However the sentence must be fashioned by the overall circumstances and seriousness of the offences."
