A man has been sentenced after racially abusing a petrol station worker and spitting on the faces of two police officers.
Jordan Longworth (pictured right) repeatedly aimed racist abuse whilst at Adlington Motor Services on Market Street, Chorley, on October 20th.
This happened after our officers were called to a report that a car had crashed into the petrol station and three males were then fighting.
Two of the males fled the scene before officers arrived and we spoke to the third male - Longworth. 
He then fled the scene before returning where he resisted arrest. However, Longworth was subsequently put in the back of a police van.
Whilst in the van, Longworth shouted racial abuse at the petrol station worker and the racial language continued in custody.
He then spat in the faces of two police officers and elbowed one of them in the face.
Longworth, 24, of Kemble Close, Horwich, was charged with racially aggravated harassment and two offences of assaulting a police officer.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced at Preston Magistrates Court on October 22nd to a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.
Longworth was also ordered to complete a four-month alcohol treatment requirement, a rehabilitation activity requirement, and pay £200 compensation.
Lancashire Police take all reports of hate crime seriously and will thoroughly investigate them in order to bring offenders to justice.
