VIOLENT MALE ASSAULTS 3 POLICE OFFICERS BEFORE STAGING DIRTY PROTEST

Darren Toogood - EditorbyDarren Toogood - Editor
3rd May 2020
in Breaking News, First reported by Island Echo

A violent male coughed in the faces of 2 Police officers whilst claiming to have COVID-19 before going on to stage a dirty protest whilst in custody yesterday (Saturday).

The individual was arrested by Police in Shanklin and it was during the arrest that officers were assaulted.

Then, whilst in custody, the unnamed male assaulted a 3rd officer by trying to bite them on the leg.

Article continues below this advertisement

The detained individual then went on to conduct a ‘dirty protest’ in his cell by defecating on the floor. This resulted in Police negotiating with the man to achieve a cleaner objective.

Charges are expected to be brought against the male later today.

UPDATE MONDAY – 30-year-old Stefan Lord of Winchester Close, Sandown has been charged with 2 counts of criminal damage, 1 count of Common assault of an emergency worker and 2 counts of assault by beating of an emergency worker.

He will appear before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on Monday.

UPDATE @ 16:55 – Less than 48 hours after the incident, Lord has been immediately jailed for a period of 6 months.

Article continues below this advertisement

Magistrates handed down the sentence today.

Absolute scum. What a shame we have people like this in this world. Fantastic we have people who join the police force but have to risk their health and their life to deal with scum like this man. Stop naming towns on the island, all walks of life have wasters like this.

It just goes to show how weak these individuals really are – the mere hint of his freedom being removed is such a fearful and scary proposition for him, that he resorts to violence. When this doesn’t work and he is incarcerated, the level of fear that he is feeling inside that cell means he will do anything to get the attention of others, have the door opened and no longer be alone, locked inside that cell with nothing but his thoughts and the other disgusting feelings that he has brought upon himself. Even demeaning himself by crapping on the floor.

Should have left him in the cell with his shit for company.

Probably another product of the socialist lefty do gooder school system, that doesn’t allow these bell ends to learn a bit of pain through a smack during childhood, never got told no, advised there are no losers, never taught or understood discipline and order and is unable and ill prepared for the real world.

What utterly despicable behaviour. Without appearing judgemental this type of behaviour is clearly not that of a person who is of sound mind, to defecate in protest and expect other people to clean up is absolutely appalling and in itself this should be heavily punished. Notwithstanding as well as punishment this individual clearly needs mental health support and behavioural management. To the boys/girls in Blue “thank you” for trying to keep our Island safe

Needs to be in a secure mental health facility, to protect us and them. This is not the behaviour of a normal person or your average criminal.

These sort of people should be put in an empty freight container, stripped, hosed down then locked in until they come to their senses. No doubt he will plead he was under the influence of something and get a slapped wrist.

I totally agree with the condemnation of the assault on police officers, and the so called “dirty protest”, carried out by this a–hole, and let’s not forget there are elected MP, s who have also carried out the same “protest” Lovely people!

We have an empty prison simple really break the rules 180 days lock up no accepting i am sorry .It does appear that despite advice individuals will not comply with lock down or social distancing fining them is not going to stop them unfortunately. I don’t think it matters where they are from on the island as all towns are going to have the mindless numpties who think they can do what they want so aiming at particular areas is not going to help any one all it will do will cause friction .Yes there are some areas that are worse than others.but that’s the same in any area in the uk .
Prehaps if people started working together and noting whats going on with anti social crime drugs etc and reported it to the police things might get sorted the emergency services are stretched as it is a little help would go along way maybe stop some of the crime. They cant be in several places at once can they and again you cant fix what you cant see and before someone jumps and goes grass etc it is only my opinion. What we are fighting is an unseen enemy it will not pick the person based on race creed or colour and it will show no mercy.Maybe people should think of that next time that they look at family friends etc a loss of judgement could cause the loss of a loved one or an innocent prson contracts cov-19 due too there stupidity..
You can slate this if you want as i said its my opinion plain and simple .

Well, he’s locked up for 6 months, that’s the right place for him for what the skank did to our police officers. He will probably be causing mahem wherever he is at the tax payers expense! Why the hell do we have people like this in society, they take up valuable time, money and resources. They really are no good to anyone unless they can be rehabilitated. All he will do and many more like him will be total wasters all their sorry lives. Shame we can’t just ship ’em all off somewhere away from decent law abiding communities and let them all live together in their filth and violent manner.
