A 21-year-old man from Lincoln has been named and charged after two police officers were assaulted at a party on Allison Place on Saturday night.
Lincolnshire Police were alerted to an ongoing house party late at night on April 3, and officers found a number of people at the property who were in breach of the COVID-19 regulations.
Levi Steven, of Allison Place in Lincoln, was arrested for breaching the regulations and during his arrest he is said to have assaulted two officers.
Steven has since been charged with two counts of assaulting an emergency worker and one of obstructing or resisting a constable in the execution of their duty. He also received a fixed penalty notice for breaching COVID regulations.
Steven is on bail to appear before Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on April 21.
Police handed out several coronavirus fines after breaking up the party, but have yet to reveal how many people were fined and by how much.
They previously said work was ongoing to establish how many people were at the party, but they believe there were around 13.
The force said all fixed penalty notices are subject to review to ensure they are proportionate.
One of the officers who was assaulted suffered a minor injury during the altercation and was taken to hospital to be assessed.
Superintendent Lee Pache previously said: “Any assault on our officers is totally unacceptable and frustratingly they are happening far too often.
“This latest incident is another example of how our officers are placed in the difficult position of responding to breaches of COVID legislation, which in itself brings added risks to officers in terms of risk to their health.
“We’d like to remind people once again that we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic, which means that we still have to comply with government guidelines. We all need to work together to stop the spread of the virus and to keep everyone safe, so please, play your part.”

A 21-year-old man has tragically died after collapsing in the street on a busy Monday evening in Cleethorpes.
Emergency services attended the scene on Grant Street shortly before 7.15pm on Monday, April 12 and a man was taken to hospital for treatment.
He later sadly died and his death is not thought to be suspicious.
It was a busy night for Humberside Police as pubs and bars reopened for outdoor custom.
Police have said they will continue their enquiries to establish the cause of death.
Officers blocked off a large section of Cleethorpes High Street from the mini roundabout at the junction with Cross Street to the Alexandra Road and Market Place roundabout, according to Grimsby Live.
Emergency services were reportedly seen in the area of the Foundry Pub, formerly called O’Neill’s, which reopened to serve customers outside on the first night that beer gardens were allowed to reopen again.
A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: “A man was reported to have collapsed in the street and there was concern for his welfare and safety. Emergency services attended immediately and took a 21-year-old man to hospital for treatment.
“Sadly the man passed away in hospital. The man’s family have been informed of his death and are being supported by specially trained officers.
“Our sympathies are with his family and friends at this very difficult time.
“The circumstances of the man’s death are not thought to be suspicious and enquiries will continue to establish the cause of his passing.”
Meanwhile, it was a busy night for Humberside Police with “lots of incidents of alcohol-fuelled disorder in Ashby, Ferry Road, Westwoodside, West Butterwick and Barnetby, resulting in 5 people in custody.”
People aged over 45 can now book their COVID vaccinations on the NHS website after the government reached its target of offering a first dose to the nine most vulnerable groups.
There were recently some technical difficulties for people accessing the NHS website, but vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi said the issues have been fixed – book a vaccine online here and find out if you are eligible.
NHS England chief executive Sir Simon Stevens said that 19 out of 20 of those most at risk of the virus have been vaccinated.
This comes ahead of the deadline of April 15 to have offered everyone in the top nine priority cohorts a COVID-19 vaccine, and England passing 27 million first doses as part of more than 32 million being given across the UK.
The aim is to offer all adults a vaccine by the end of July.
Sir Simon Stevens said: “Vaccinating 19 out of 20 people aged 50 and over is an incredible milestone.
“Thanks to our NHS nurses, doctors, pharmacists, operational managers and thousands of other staff and volunteers, the NHS Covid vaccination programme is without a doubt the most successful in our history. It’s one of our tickets out of this pandemic and offers real hope for the future.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “I want to thank everyone involved in the vaccine rollout which has already saved many thousands of lives.
“We will now move forward with completing essential second doses and making progress towards our target of offering all adults a vaccine by the end of July.”
Meanwhile, the first Moderna jab will be delivered in England on Tuesday, April 13 as the NHS vaccination programme reaches another milestone.
More than 20 sites will initially use the newest vaccine as the NHS continues to expand the vaccination programme.
For anyone aged 18-29 who is eligible for a jab, the Moderna vaccine provides another alternative to the AstraZeneca vaccine, amid concerns over blood clotting.
