Four more charged following violent disorder

Staffordshire Police said its officers had arrested a total of 94 people and charged 38 with offences following the disorder in August

Four more people have been charged over disorder in Stoke-on-Trent and Tamworth last month.

Lee Clark, 41, of Dordon, Tamworth, is charged with violent disorder and common assault of an emergency worker.

Sam Williams, 36, of Packmoor, Stoke-on-Trent, is charged with violent disorder and possession of a controlled drug of class B - cannabis.

David Kirkbridge, 28, and Colin Stonehouse, 36, both of Wilnecote, Tamworth, have been charged with violent disorder.

Staffordshire Police said its officers had arrested a total of 94 people and charged 38 with offences following the violence in Stoke-on-Trent on 3 August and Tamworth on 4 August.

Riots and protests swept the UK that weekend in the wake of the Southport stabbings, in part fuelled by false claims that the suspect was an immigrant who had come to the UK on a boat.

Mr Williams has been remanded in custody ahead of his next appearance at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 27 September.

Mr Clark has been remanded in custody and will appear at Stafford Crown Court on the same day.

Mr Kirkbridge and Mr Stonehouse have been remanded in custody ahead of their next appearance at Stafford Crown Court on 30 September.
