A 19-year-old man who threw a chair at police and yelled “Yorkshire, Yorkshire” outside a hotel housing asylum seekers has been jailed.

Niven Matthewman was sentenced to two years and eight months’ imprisonment at Sheffield Crown Court over violent disorder on August 4 in Rotherham.

Judge Jeremy Richardson KC described Matthewman as part of an “ignorant mob” who participated in racist disorder, and said the incident was “extremely frightening for anyone who was there”.

The court heard how 58 police officers were injured as a result of the incident, alongside three police dogs and a police horse.

The judge said Matthewman would be detained in a young offenders’ institution and be subject to a criminal behaviour order for 10 years.

A mother and daughter wept as they appeared in court together charged with violent disorder following widespread trouble in Middlesbrough.

Grandmother Amanda Walton, 52, of Ashling Way, Middlesbrough, and Megan Davison, a 24-year-old mother of two, were remanded in custody following a hearing at Teesside Magistrates’ Court.

Walton, who was walking her dog, is accused of throwing a stone at a building as a baying mob made its way along Parliament Road on August 4. She is also accused of damaging a car wing mirror.

Walton was with her daughter, who was said to have repeatedly jumped on the roof of the same parked car.

As he was taken away from the dock, he told people in the public gallery: “Tell Megan I love her.”

A self-employed home renovator who was on the “front line” of a large mob which became increasingly violent towards police at a Rotherham hotel where asylum seekers were staying has been jailed.

Nathan Palmer, 29, of Rotherham, grabbed a police shield which was then passed around after an officer fell during the unrest on August 4, Sheffield Crown Court heard on Monday.

He was on licence for a drugs offence when he took part in the mob attack on the Holiday Inn hotel where a fire was started.

The court heard Palmer, who lived nearby, had attended the protest out of “nosiness” after he saw details on social media.

Palmer, who had previously admitted violent disorder, was sentenced to two years and eight months’ jail.

A 64-year-old man who punched a police officer in the jaw and handed out eggs for people to throw during riots in Hull has been jailed for 18 months.

William Riley pleaded guilty to violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker.

Hull Crown Court heard he was prominent at the front of a group who were confronting a police line, acting aggressively and throwing missiles.

He went on to punch an officer to the side of the jaw as he was trying to detain him.

The court heard the conviction was “a massive fall from grace” for Riley, who is involved with veterans’ charities who had attended the city centre that day to lay a wreath for the victims of the Southport stabbing.

A father-of-three who took a sledgehammer to cars at a garage belonging to a foreign national while the terrified owner cowered inside with his family during riots in Hull has been jailed for three years.

Stuart Randall, 55, danced in front of a police line while waving a riot shield and smashed the front windows of two shops during a day of “racist, hate-fuelled mob violence” in the city on August 3.

Randall also smashed the glass of a BMW that had contained three Romanian men who were forced out of their vehicle by an angry mob, although Hull Crown Court heard he was not directly involved in that incident.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of racially aggravated criminal damage, violent disorder, criminal damage to two shops, burglary of the O2 store and Lush, and possession of cannabis.

He was also filmed among the crowd outside the hotel at a number of different points during the afternoon as police attempted to disperse them.

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said: “You have brought shame on yourself. You have brought shame on your mother and father. You have brought shame on the town in which you live.”

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, fixed a trial date for December 2.

David Chadwick, 36, of Furlong Road, Goldthorpe, Barnsley, was jailed for two years and eight months by Judge Richardson, who said he was part of a “violent mob” who attacked a “vastly outnumbered” group of police officers who were pinned to the wall of the Holiday Inn Express.

The judge heard how Chadwick threw a piece of wood at the officers and was also present during an incident in which a police van was violently rocked, with officers and a dog inside.

The court heard how Chadwick was filmed twice pouring the contents of a can through the van window on to the police driver, who was trying to move out of danger.

Chadwick said in a letter to the court: “I have let myself down, I have let my family-and-friends down, and I’ve let my whole community down.”

Lee Crisp, 42, of Mount Road, Grimethorpe, Barnsley, shouted abuse at police guarding the hotel and this continued after his arrest, telling one officer: “You’re protecting the bastards who are raping our kids.”

Crisp was jailed for three years and four months.

Stephanie Hollis, prosecuting, said the defendant shouted at one officer: “Take your f****** uniform off, I’ll knock the f*** out of you” and “You f****** horrible little c***.”

And he shouted at someone recording the violence: “Sex offending bastards. BBC bastards.”

Ms Hollis said factory worker Crisp celebrated as the group he was with threw missiles at the officers.

When Crisp appeared at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court earlier this month, his solicitor told a district judge that his client was a victim of mistaken identity as he took his elderly mother for a Sunday lunch in the pub next to the hotel.

A 27-year-old man who threw a wood panel onto a fire outside a hotel housing hundreds of asylum seekers has admitted a charge of arson with intent to endanger life.

Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson KC told Thomas Birley his offending is “unquestionably” the most serious of all those he has dealt with in the last fortnight in relation to the rioting outside the Holiday Inn Express, at Manvers, Rotherham, on August 4.

Sheffield Crown Court heard how Birley, of Rowms Lane, Swinton, Rotherham, was involved in many of the incidents outside the hotel, including stoking the fire in the bin which was pushed against an exit, throwing items at the police and squaring up to officers with riot shields while brandishing a police baton.

The defendant pleaded guilty to arson with intent to endanger life, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon when he appeared in the dock on Wednesday.

Judge Richardson said: “Your case is, so far, unquestionably the most serious to have come before this court arising from the public disorder in Rotherham.

He will be sentenced on September 6.

The court heard how Beard’s aggression toward the officers came at a critical time in the rioting after the hotel had been breached, attempts had been made to set fire to the building and outnumbered police were trying to disperse hundreds of people.

Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson KC heard how Beard served in the Royal Green Jackets between 1998 and 2003, and the judge said he was “astonished” that the defendant had become involved as he had been “on the receiving end” of public order incidents as a peacekeeper.

Clayton, of Oakwood Square, Kexbrough, Barnsley, admitted racially aggravated harassment and criminal damage as well as assaulting an emergency worker.
