He violently resisted and ended up having to be taken to the ground and later pinned to a chair.

But his solicitor, Sascha McCorriston, said Baskett simply did not recognise it was the police.

That was because they were not in uniform.

But regardless of that, Baskett was arrested and charged with a single count of resisting police.

Baskett, who turned 31 on the day he appeared in Albury Local Court via a video link from jail, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a fixed term of one month.

He was in custody as he was found to be in breach of his conditions of parole a couple of months before the resist police incident.

“Mr Baskett certainly has resisted police on this occasion,” Ms McCorriston told magistrate Tony Murray.

Mr Murray said that while Baskett had a “terrible record” he did not really have anything related to assaulting or resisting police.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Andrew Coombs said there was one resist matter from 2009, but Mr Murray said this was “a long time ago”.

He was told Baskett’s parole was revoked by the NSW State Parole Authority on April 7.

This meant Baskett was required to return to prison to serve the remaining five months and 14 days of his total sentence for matters not outlined in court.

Police were at the doctor’s surgery in Young Street, Albury, on June 7 when Baskett walked in.

One of the officers promptly walked over to Baskett, tapped him on the shoulder and said: “It’s the police, you’re under arrest.”

Baskett could not believe what had just happened.

“Are you serious?”

But the officer was, showing Baskett his NSW Police badge.

Baskett swung his arm around to try to break the officer’s grip, then swung both arms around to try to get away from the police.

The one-month term will be served concurrently with the balance of his parole period
