A MAN who made “vile homophobic comments” to police officers has been jailed.
Justin Heggie, 27, resisted arrest after a sergeant and a PC were called to Bargoed’s Wood Street last month.
Prosecutor David Thomas told Newport Magistrates' Court that the officers were subjected to “vile homophobic comments” by the drunken defendant.
Heggie of Glan Yr Afon, New Tredegar, Caerphilly pleaded guilty to two public order offences, being drunk and disorderly and resisting a constable in the execution of his duty.
These offences occurred on August 15.
