Berkshire man who assaulted 10 police officers in Fleet jailed
The 26 year old kicked, punched, bit, and spat at officers while he was detained
A man from Wokingham who assaulted 10 police officers during two separate incidents in Fleet has been jailed.
26 year old Jamie Drablow of Wiltshire Road, kicked, punched, bit, and spat at officers while he was detained.
In the early hours of 24th August 2025, officers responding to reports of suspicious activity found Drablow asleep in a car in Fleet. When officers attempted to apprehend him, Drablow tried to escape but was detained after five officers were assaulted.
The court learned that Drablow had also committed a burglary on Holt Lane, Hook, on 22nd August, stealing items including a television, Xbox, alcohol, and internet router.
Earlier in the year, on 31st May, officers were called to an altercation at The Kara restaurant on Fleet Road, where Drablow attacked five officers. His actions included racial abuse, punching, and biting.
Drablow was charged with multiple offences. In relation to the May incident, he pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm, assault by beating of an emergency worker, aggravated harassment, and common assault of an emergency worker.
For the August incidents, he pleaded guilty to burglary dwelling and theft, assault by beating, common assault, driving while disqualified, using a vehicle without insurance, and possessing a controlled drug.
Hart Inspector Lisa Eastlake commented on the sentencing, emphasizing that violence against emergency workers is unacceptable and not part of their job description. She noted the long-lasting impact these assaults can have on officers and reiterated the commitment to address such offences swiftly.
“I hope this result highlights that this behaviour will not be tolerated in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight,” Inspector Eastlake said.
