A maximum penalty for assaulting an emergency worker is an unlimited fine and six months in prison.
Today Valentine was given a conditional discharge for 12 months which means if he breaks the law this offence will be considered at the next hearing.
He must pay £21 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.
