A man who has a ‘flagrant disregard’ for others has been sentenced for offences including assault and obstructing emergency services.

Samuel Hanson, 52, of Ombersley Street West, Droitwich, has been sentenced at Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court for five offences committed between March 4, 2025, to August 27, 2025, in Greater Manchester.

The 52-year-old admitted to two counts of common assault committed in March, one count of obstructing a member of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service in June, and two counts of using threatening, abusive, or insulting words, committed in June and August.

He was received three six-week prison sentences, all suspended for 18 months, which will be served consecutively.

The magistrates noted that Hanson has ‘a flagrant disregard for people and their property’.

He was also ordered to pay £200 in compensation to three victims, and will be required to complete up to 25 days of rehabilitation activities.
