Connor Prescott pleads guilty to violent disorder

Next to appear before the court this morning is Connor Prescott, who is also charged with violent disorder. The 25-year-old of no fixed abode appears in court wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit and sporting short dark hair and stubble.

Prescott is represented by Laura Young. He speaks to confirm his name, address and date of birth before the charge of violent disorder is put to him by the court clerk. He pleads guilty to the charge.

Prosecutor Ms McCoubrey tells the court: “The defendant was involved in the violent disorder in Southport on July 30. The defendant is seen to be playing an active role throwing bricks, masonry and wheelie bins towards the police.

“There is clear CCTV of the defendant throwing things at the police officers. The defendant has one conviction for one offence, which was possession with intent to supply which he received a suspended sentence for in 2019.”

Ms Young, defending, says there is no application for bail.

District Judge Healey remands the defendant into custody ahead of his sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, August 19. The defendant nods his head as he is led down to the cells.
