Daniel McGuire pleads guilty to volent disorder

Daniel McGuire, 45, of Crescent Avenue, Plymouth, pleaded guilty to a charge of violent disorder relating to a protest in Plymouth on Monday night.

Prosecuting, Gareth Warden told Plymouth Magistrates’ Court how McGuire was “clearly intoxicated” and pushed up against police shields, with the defendant “spitting on officers and shields” despite being told to stop.

District Judge Joanna Matson remanded McGuire into custody ahead of his sentencing hearing at Plymouth Crown Court on Thursday.

She told him: “You have accepted your role in a very significant disorder and violence that took place in Plymouth city centre on Monday night.

“This was violent thuggery, it will not be tolerated in our society. You will be subjected to the full force of the law.”
