Police on the Isle of Wight have taken action against 3 more people breaching the COVID-19 legislation.
50-year-old Jamie Evans, of no fixed abode, was arrested yesterday for breaching the coronavirus restrictions and for a Public Order offence. He has now been charged and remanded in custody to appear before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court this morning (Monday).
2 other individuals have also been reported for breaching the COVID-19 legislation.
The news comes just days after 2 men were summonsed to court for also breaching the Government’s rules. 31-year-old Kieron Miles and 23-year-old Scott Thick are due to appear in court in due course.
UPDATED – Evans, 50, appeared before Magistrates today and was fined £180.
Yes finally some fines being handed out. Well done the rozzers
Have these idiots got any money to pay a fine?
They won’t end up paying it. It’s no deterrent
No, but they know a lot of tax payers who will pay it for them, whilst they also pay their rent, and council tax, and pay for them to breed ever more clones to continue the misery for the next generation.
Yes, it was reported last week that Poundland have sold a record number of pregnancy testing kits. Say no more!
Of no fixed abode, therefore no money to pay fines. Lock them up, protect the NHS and decent Law abiding Islanders.
It has been proved so many times,a slap on the wrist does not work.
If they have no fixed abode, then they are not Islanders.when released move them back to where they came from.
So according to your logic, if you are homeless on the Isle of Wight, you aren’t an islander. Ok.
Just for clarity Jamie Evans is from the island and has always been an idiot.
I’m an islander Bart. Born and raised.
Lost my mum and dad as a teen, and ended up on the streets in the early 90s.
Why? No social housing (all sold and not replaced), couldn’t get benefits (they were delayed and I didn’t qualify eventually anyway as I was so young), and no work as we were in the middle of a horrible recession.
My point really is that it happens. And it’s actually very easy to end up on the streets these days. Far easier than it was when it happened to me.
Which isn’t to say this lot aren’t all completely useless. But we’d do better to try to help cure their addictions than pay a hell of a lot more to lock them up surrounded by other addicts in a prison system where drugs are often used as currency.
well said its too easy to judge and be holier than thou and well done to you for getting out of what was a terrible situation.Sadly some dont want help and some wont observe safe social distancing out of sheer cussedness Some are just antisocial waste of spacers hence those that spit or cough on emergency perssonell
Well done the police. These irresponsible people are a danger to everyone. Despite all the efforts of the government and emergency workers a certain sector of the population will ignore or defy the law. These same individuals are likely to be involved in criminal and antisocial activity and are a huge burden on the taxpayer. They also cause stress to the rest of us. We need much harsher sentences to firstly deter others and to contain the worst offenders. I would hazard a guess that the cost of detaining them would be less than the real cost of their activities. .
Finally I believe that those who think it is acceptable to abuse and spit at police and other frontline staff should get a mandatory custodial sentence.
5 people, £5000 a week! That’s why your taxes go up!
“No fixed abode” does that mean they wondered from their normal shop doorway……..quite frankly all these comments are somewhat sick!
The government told all councils that they had to house their homeless during this pandemic. As far as I’m aware all the homeless have been offered accommodation, although some have since been kicked out or chosen to leave. So it isn’t a case of that they have no option to observe the social distancing rules.
They are probably too objectionable to be housed. Not everyone who ends up homeless is in that situation merely because of misfortune, although I do genuinely feel sorry for anyone who ends up homeless over something not of their making, but too many are homeless because they are violent drunks or druggies.
They make it impossible for anyone to be able to put up with having them in their midst because of their vile behaviour and I’d like all the “Oh but they need help” brigade to take them into their living spaces and try to ‘help’ them and then report back.
They are so needy & a strain on our resources don’t they realise choices & consequences !!!!
“don’t they realise choices & consequences” Upbringing. Parents of druggies always say their kid fell in with the wrong crowd. Never accepting the part they played in their kid becoming a waste of space.
It’s nice to see the compaction of people on this site. Of no fixed abode means they have no where to live, so break the rules. These people are still human and not scum. But they don’t fit into the rose tinted views of the people who post on here. It’s nice to know your all above people with problems.
Well said;if he has no fixed abode what can he do alday except wonder.
During this pandemic, all the homeless have been offered accommodation, including Jamie Evans. If you know anyone that hasn’t, they need to contact the Council
@chivers – they say no fixed abode, to avoid handing out their address – that scumbag has somewhere to live – he is well known on the island by many people.
Jamey is one of manyjust bloody one of the unlucky ones it makes me sick people with money no worrys etc bought up with silver spoons not every one has a perfect life how can some of you snobby people gone on like you do half of you don’t no whats round the corner some people need to stop and think did he have a happy life did things go wrong for him he had to stand on his own from a very young agelosing his mum and dad at a very young age did that mess with him stop judging get on with your own lifes you’ve probably all got skelitons in your cupboards
I could write a sob story about my life a mile long, but I have not turned out like that. If you want to know about poverty, I could write a bloody book on it, but still never turned out like that, It amazes me how so many ‘homeless’ people can afford the alcohol they drink, not talking about the individual named here, I mean in general, they always seem to have a ready bottle of alcohol, how on earth can they afford it?
And getting just a little sick of hearing the ridiculous assumptions of anyone hearing justifiable complaints about lowlife, that anyone complaining must be rich, “Oh look, it’s ‘obviously’ some wealthy b&stard” , or “oh look , ‘obviously’ a snob. No, this is not the case in most instances, but just decent people, who never mind how poor or disadvantaged they grew up, did not make the same destructive choices and therefore did not end up in quite the same predicament.
Our society seems to look down its nose at decent people and glorifies lowlife, and this has gone on for too long, aided and abetted by the social reforming do gooder types and that is a lot to do with why there are so many lowlife in our midst now.
And please stop with the inverted snobbery of accusing decent people of being snobs, being decent does not mean someone is a snob, Ridiculous.
no better or worse than a lot of scam artists also living on the island unfortunately, ripping off hard working people by disappearing before completing the tasks paid for, only one word for them
Brilliant. Scott Thick. Very apt.
He will get his money back when this is all confirmed fake.
Let’s just wait and see how the homeless on the iow, or indeed the U.K. shoots up after this b.s virus shall we.? April 21st the Covid 19 emergency bill has just been updated. Not through Parliament though! Check it out, cause lots more on the way ladies and gentlemen.
Never understood the point of fining junkies, drunks, and ne’er-do-wells tbh.
Yes, I get you can probably do an attachment of earnings to their benefits (or whatever they get).
But you don’t have to be a genius to guess what they’ll resort to when their cash runs out!
stop winging, its pathetic, just read the news, no one is interested in the warped opinions expressed by the wingers here
