Man arrested for farting

46-year-old Malcolm Gill, from Longfield Avenue in Dalton, has been arrested after farting in a police officer's face twice.

He also admitted referring to the policeman as 'You black b*****d, you terrorist,' when he appeared in court in February.

Gill received a 12-month community order as a result of the racially-aggravated harassment conviction but failed to adhere to the rules of the sentence.

An arrest warrant was issued for him when he didn't turn up to court after being accused of breaching the order.

He was jailed for 18 weeks on Wednesday when he was found guilty of failing to show up to appointments.
