A Boston man who threw a petrol bomb and pointed an imitation firearm at a police officer has been jailed for five years and eight months.
36-year-old David Wiatrowski of Bradford Road, made and threw a Molotov cocktail at a police vehicle.
He also aimed what was only later discovered to be an imitation firearm at a police officer in the early hours of New Year’s Day this year.
The officer in charge of the case, Detective Constable Jamie McCormack, of Boston CID said: “I would like to thank the many teams involved in this investigation across Lincolnshire Police, and regionally, which led to the identification and arrest of Wiatrowski.
"Above all else, I would like to thank the attending officers that day who responded swiftly and selflessly to protect the public.
"Their actions highlight the essential role our police play in keeping our communities safe and secure.
"Their dedication, especially in difficult circumstances, reflects the deep commitment to service and protecting the public.”
