A CREAM bun slapped on a police officer's head is no laughing matter for Kipper Jackson & it got him banged up for two years.

Local character Kipper, Sunday name Kenneth Jackson, denied he was drunk when he coated the copper in cream.

A jury did not accept his version that he was balancing the bun on his own head for fun and it accidentally fell. It was Kipper's 73rd appearance in court.
