Jemel Estridge, a man said ‘watch me murder a police officer’ after officers caught him having s*x in a hostel corridor.

According to Metro UK, Jemel Estridge was hit by an officer’s Taser during the altercation in a hostel in Handsworth, West Midlands, in December 2014.

The officer fired after fearing the 26-year-old was reaching for a knife, having been caught in the act.

After being hit, Estridge, of Reapers Walk, Wolverhampton, warned the officer he was going to ‘put a slug’ in his head.

He failed to turn up to court and went on the run, but was arrested last month and has now been jailed for nine months after admitting making a threat to kill and breaching his bail.

Birmingham Crown Court heard a worker at the hostel saw Estridge, who was not a resident, in the hostel and heard him talking about a knife.

Police were called and heard ‘groaning’ noises on arrival.

They shone a torch into a corridor and found Estridge apparently having s*x with a woman, the court heard.

Prosecutor Rupert Jones said: ‘The defendant pulled up his trousers and said ‘watch me murder a police officer’.’

After being hit with the Taser, the defendant made two more threats to kill police, including telling the officer: ‘I am going to remember your face and put a slug in your head.’

Judge Phillip Parker QC said: ‘They disturbed you upstairs in a slight state of undress with a girl with whom you were having intercourse.

‘They asked you to get up and you responded extremely aggressively.

‘The level of threat to the police officers was extremely chilling, although I accept you were not going to carry it out.’

Theresa Hunt, defending, said Estridge accepts his behaviour had been ‘appalling’ and was extremely sorry.
