A man will spend a week behind bars after assaulting an officer.

Lynn man Leon Dowd was arrested on Monday after a police search as he was wanted on recall to prison yet again, despite only committing a similar offence as recently as November.

He was subsequently charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer.
