The phlegm hit PC Stuart Donnelly on the right hand and arm.
Agnew, 39, of Beaumont Fee, Lincoln, admitted assaulting Wayne Nelson by beating on October 4, 2012. He also admitted assaulting PC Donnelly in the execution of his duty. He was jailed for six weeks and ordered to pay a £80 victim surcharge.
Judge Michael Heath told him: "The more serious offence in this case is the assault on the police officer.
"This court will not tolerate police officers being spat at."
James Robotham, defending, said Agnew's life had been blighted by addictions but he had received help from the Pathway Centre.

“The judge describes the most serious offence in this case as the officer getting spit on his uniform,if I had the choice between someone punching me a number of times or being spat at i think i know which one i would deem the more serious offence.”

“Why was he immediately chased by a large number of police officers? Should they not have been out on the streets.....or do they sit and wait for the idiot criminals to knock on the door now....”
