Charge dropped against man at immigration demo

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Weymouth in August 2024

Prosecutors have dropped a case against a man who was charged with being drunk and disorderly at a gathering of anti-immigration and anti-racism protesters.

David Fuller was arrested at the event in Weymouth, Dorset, in August 2024.

In November, the 63-year-old, of Yeovil, Somerset, failed to turn up to Weymouth Magistrates' Court, which issued a warrant for his arrest.

In a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service said it had decided not to pursue the case "following a careful review of all the available evidence", but gave no further details.
