Geoff Marshall, a 41-year-old resident of Norton Fitzwarren, has been sentenced to two years in jail following a series of dangerous incidents on September 10. Marshall admitted to assault by beating, criminal damage, and dangerous driving charges at Taunton Crown Court.
The events unfolded when police were called to an address on Station Road, responding to a woman’s distress call. Marshall, upon seeing the officers, attempted to flee the scene in his vintage 1958 M35 truck. In his desperate bid to escape, he rammed into police vehicles and reversed into the property, causing significant damage.
