The bench found that the threats to the officer were both racially and religiously aggravated.

He was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and 20 days of rehabilitation activities.

Mennell also lost his driver's licence for 18 months and must pay compensation and a victim services surcharge totalling £175.
