A Birmingham man has been sentenced to 40 weeks in prison for assaulting police officers who were responding to an emergency call at his address.
Kieran Wilson, 32, of Oval Road, Erdington, was sentenced on March 24th at Birmingham Crown Court.
On the 28th of December 2025, police responded to a domestic call at the Oval Road address to arrest Wilson, who then had an hour-long standoff with officers from inside the residence.
The court heard Wilson threatened to set his dogs on the officers, said he would stab them with a glass bottle and warned he was a trained martial artist.
Wilson eventually came out of the address and agreed to go with the officers. He asked if he could go back into the house to retrieve some of his belongings.
When this request was refused, Wilson “forcibly headbutted” PC Harper, and also assaulted a PC Gill, who he “kicked to the chest”.
The court also heard he tried to put another one of the officers in a headlock.
Wilson had pleaded guilty to breach of a suspended sentence order, possession of an offensive weapon (pava spray he had stolen from an officer during the altercation), and the assault by beating on an emergency worker.
The defendant has been remanded in custody at HMP Birmingham since the incident in late December and joined the court via video link.
The defence said Wilson found the incident “deeply unfair due to facing false allegations of assault against his partner” and when he was taken to the police van “he spiralled”.
Recorder Paul McGrath, sentencing, said: “There’s a batch of offences here and it seems to me the assault of PC Harper is the most serious one”, referring to the headbutt.
Recorder McGrath sentenced Wilson to a total of 40 weeks for the three offences.
