A judge at Brighton Crown Court imposed a 12-week jail sentence, but suspended it for two years.

Two days earlier, he had been sentenced to 14 weeks in prison after the court heard he had drunkenly reversed into a police car near Horsham.

Drayton, 50, was also ordered to complete 30 days of rehabilitation activity and was banned from driving for three years.
