All these suspended prison sentences are not prison. They a slap on the behind. With a few quid punishment. Absolute joke!
It is not known as Drink and Drug Isle for nothing!
Some victims should be named, as they lie to get more compensation
So how do you decide who then pratt?
Tyler Wilkinson, 20, of Atkinson Drive, Newport pleaded guilty to possession of a knife blade / sharp pointed article in a public place. He was handed a 4-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. He must complete 20 rehabilitation days.
Joke of a sentence all this tells people is you will get away with carrying a knife in public no excuse for it any knife or weapon crime needs to be an instant prison sentence.
He has another trial in may for abduction
This is the second time that someone has be caught in a public place with a knife or bladed weapon yet no prison sentence again thought we was trying to cut down on knife crime?
Charlotte & Knowell will find that when they try to obtain another insurance policy, it’ll cost thousands of pounds more than they expected. Morons the pair of them. As for the other two, they are both public menaces. It won’t take them long to commit more offences so there is no excuse for not jailing them. Totally limp sentences, neither of which are in the public interest. I hope someone appeals to have their sentences increased to a custodial one.
Knowell Matsvimbo guilty of drink driving, banned from driving for 45 months, fined £480.
Charlotte Gayle, 31, guilty of drug driving and driving without insurance, banned from driving for 20 months, fined £80.
Seems like the latter got off lightly.
So Tyler Wilkinson both lives at “Atkinson Drive” and “Avenue Road” on two seperate sentences in the same week?
There could be two of them..
One of the defendants lives in ‘Avenue Road.’ Who thought this name up ? If it’s an ‘Avenue’ it’s not a road. If it’s a ‘road’ it is not an Avenue.
There a few of them on the island. Keep a look out for Terrace Street, Road Lane, Lane Street, Avenue Avenue, Street Road, Avenue Street …
