Moxon was alleged to have assaulted the police officers in Drefach Velindre on that same date.
He had initially been due to appear at Swansea Crown Court on Monday, March 11, but he didn’t turn up. This led to Judge Paul Thomas KC issuing a warrant for Moxon’s arrest.
Moxon was subsequently arrested, and pleaded guilty to all charges, as well as admitting breaching his bail.
At Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday, Judge David Wynn Morgan sentenced Moxon to a total of 30 months in prison.
This included 28 months for each of the criminal damage offences and 12 months for affray, all running concurrently. Moxon was jailed for a further two months for the assaults on police officers.
He received a two-week sentence, running concurrently, for breaching his bail, and he must pay a £228 surcharge within three months of his release.
