Man Jailed for Shoulder Injury During Police Chase
6 Jan
Summary
- Jerome Gibson jailed for 3 years and 8 months for his actions.
- He barged into an officer, causing injuries requiring surgery.
- Police dog Seth assisted in tracking down the fugitive.
Jerome Gibson, aged 22, has been sentenced to three years and eight months in prison for grievous bodily harm without intent and other offenses. The sentence stems from an incident last summer when Gibson, wearing a balaclava and ski goggles while riding an e-bike, fled from police in Nottingham. During his escape, he deliberately ran into an officer, causing a broken shoulder that required surgery.
Despite his initial escape and subsequent hiding outside the city, Gibson was later located and arrested in Bilborough, Nottingham, thanks to the efforts of police dog Seth. He had previously pleaded guilty to charges including grievous bodily harm without intent, threats with an offensive weapon, and criminal damage, stemming from incidents on May 8, 2024, in Derbyshire.
Nottinghamshire Police emphasized their zero-tolerance policy towards assaults on officers. Detective Constable Bethanie Foster stated that while officers are prepared for danger, such attacks are not an accepted part of their duty. Gibson's actions and subsequent arrest underscore the ongoing efforts to bring offenders to justice.
