A man has pleaded guilty to criminal damage after headbutting a police van before defecating inside it.

David James, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal damage and two of assaulting a police constable in the execution of their duty when he appeared at Wycombe Magistrates' Court last week.

The charges against the 28-year-old relate to an incident at the YMCA in Crest Road, High Wycombe, in the early hours of Tuesday, April 15.

A police vehicle was damaged by being headbutted, before James defecated inside it while being taken into custody.

James was granted conditional bail and is due back before the court on June 5 to be sentenced.
