A 42-year-old man has been charged with 4 offences after an incident in Shanklin yesterday (Tuesday), which resulted in Police deploying a Taser.
Officers were called to Regent Street in the town at around 16:00 after reports were received of shoplifting from Boots the chemist.
Police responded to the scene and attempted to detain a suspect, who is said to have been in possession of a glass bottle. During the arrest, he is alleged to have resisted and ended up assaulting an officer.
Mark Anthony Cording, of Atherley Road, Shanklin, has now been charged with stealing £150 worth of items from Boots, possession of an offensive weapon, resisting arrest and assault by beating of an emergency worker.
He has been bailed to appear before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on 17th August.
He will get a slap on the wrist and told not to be a naughty boy.
And next time he will get a slap on each wrist!
This will not be able to be dealt with at the magistrates court, the offences are too serious. Hope this gezza gets exactly what he deserves, a prison sentence and throw away the key.
If I had a quid for every time somebody said “throw away the key” in the comments.. it really does highlight the retardedness of people in our society. Not sure whats worse the knob heads and they’re petty criminality or the idiots commenting on it ..makes for funny reading though I guess lol
King Kong – you have made yourself look stupid in your comment.
you have said they’re instead of their – makes your sentence read “Knob heads and they are petty criminality”
And there is no such word “retardness”. Also it would not be “whats” but instead “what’s”.
Hope our new island task force and others set up throughout the country listen to local concerns and instead of giving goodwill charities the upper hand in sentencing….the honest people in this country need to be listened to…conservative got in on law & order & immigration….but they are failing us ….
task force conjures up images of a strong, confident, purpose lead, cohesive and a structured group, whereas the reality is a weak group of hand wringing, argumentative, lefty do gooders, hell bent on protecting the rights of the criminal over the victim.
