Thug who hurled abuse and ‘charged’ at Middlesbrough riot cops locked up
Harry Waugh charged towards officers and was caught hitting another man in Middlesbrough
A thug who hurled missiles at police in Middlesbrough during the summer riots has been jailed.
Stockton’s Harry Waugh was caught on numerous CCTV footages taking part in the disorder that occurred in the summer across the UK. The 26-year-old can be seen charging towards a line of officers, shouting abuse, pointing aggressively and throwing items at them while they tried to protect themselves with a shield.
He then walked away after a rock thrown by another individual involved in the disorder hit him in the face before returning to shout further abuse at police. Waugh was then captured hitting another man when a fight broke out at a nearby park.
Following information provided to the Operation Acorn investigation team, Waugh, of Plumer Drive in Stockton, was arrested and subsequently charged in connection with violent disorder.
He appeared at Teesside Crown Court on Wednesday, December 18 Waugh and was jailed for 30 months.
