British lawmaker jailed for beating constituent in street during drunken rage

Associated Press  

LONDON — A British lawmaker who punched out a constituent in the street while in a drunken rage was sentenced Monday to 10 weeks in prison. Amesbury is the first sitting member of Parliament imprisoned since 2019 when Fiona Onasanya was jailed for three months for lying to police about a speeding ticket. “You won’t threaten your MP again will you?” Amesbury said, using profanity and calling him a “soft lad.” Both men had been drinking before the incident, a judge said. Although Fellows wasn’t seriously injured, Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram said he’d handled cases where people died after a single punch. “Unprovoked drunken behavior in the early hours in the streets is too serious to be dealt with by unpaid hours of work, let alone a community order,” Ikram said.
