A man who claimed to have been infected with coronavirus before coughing on police has been jailed for 16 weeks.

Christopher McKendrick was detained on Thursday afternoon after officers were called to reports of someone being abusive and threatening in South Derbyshire, and found him waving a piece of wood “in a threatening manner”, police said.


When police asked if he had the virus, he replied: “I’ve already had it, I’ve got over it and now I am a super-spreader.”


The 58-year-old from Swarkestone then coughed in the direction of three officers, Derbyshire Constabulary said.

He pleaded guilty to a number of charges on 3 April at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court, including common assault and using threatening, abusive, insulting words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.


He has been given a 16-week prison sentence and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £122.

In London and Northumbria, people have also been jailed after coughing on officers and claiming to have the virus.
