A man who rammed a US military-style vehicle into police cars, before threatening Avon and Somerset Police officers with a chainsaw has been sentenced to two years in jail. Geoff Marshall, of Station Road, Norton Fitzwarren, tried to escape arrest in the Somerset town by driving into a police roadblock, colliding with a property and causing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Marshall, 41, admitted one count of assault by beating, 11 counts of criminal damage and one count of dangerous driving in connection with a series of incidents which have been described as 'reckless and dangerous' in Norton Fitzwarren on Sunday, 10 September. Police were initially called to and address on Station Road at 4.20pm by a woman who feared for her safety.
When officers arrived at the scene, Marshall tried to flee the scene by driving his 1958 M35 truck into police vehicles, before reversing into the property and causing significant structural damage. Police then tried to break the truck's window to remove him from the vehicle.
