Two altercations with island police ended in court with a 270-day jail sentence for a Bradenton man.
Luke Norris, now 32, was arrested in March by Holmes Beach police for resisting arrest and disorderly intoxication after he fought with officers in a condominium stairwell.
In October 2016, he was arrested on battery charges after striking two officers and resisting arrest on Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach.
Norris pleaded no contest to all charges May 4.
Twelfth Circuit Deno Economou sentenced Norris to the Manatee County jail with credit for time served. As of June 13, he remained in jail.
The judge assessed Norris $1,649 in court fees and costs in the Bradenton Beach case and $860 for the Holmes Beach incident, including $200 to each police agency for investigative costs.
