Jamie Birks grabbed a garden spade from a street sweeper's cart and caused a disturbance in central Derby, England. Two police officers attempted to calm him down, but he only stopped after a passerby tackled him.





The troublemaker was charged with five counts of assaulting police officers. He used violence against officers both at the scene and in custody. Birks pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 27 weeks in prison.
