A 60-year-old man has been jailed for two years and eight months after causing an officer to fall to the floor as police clashed with demonstrators outside a hotel housing asylum seekers near Rotherham on 4 August.

Glyn Guest, of Pearson Crescent, Wombwell, admitted violent disorder last week and was sentenced today at Sheffield Crown Court.

Body-worn camera footage showed Guest repeatedly being pushed back by a riot shield as he approached a line of police six times outside of a Holiday Inn Express, before grabbing another shield, causing an officer to fall to the floor to cheering from the crowd.

The female officer whose body-worn camera footage was played said in an impact statement how she was “terrified for my safety” during the disorder, which saw more than 50 police injured and attempts to storm and set fire to the building.

The officer said “it was a horrific incident of mindless thuggery” and that she had encountered “nothing like it before” in her five-and-a-half years of service.

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, said the conduct of the “mob” was “vile”, told Guest: “You were part of a violent mob and you were playing your part to the full.”

A further 10 people have appeared in court in Sheffield charged in connection with rioting at a hotel near Rotherham earlier this month.

Disorder broke out at the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, which was believed to have been housing around 200 asylum seekers, on Sunday 4 August.

On Monday at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court, six men pleaded guilty to violent disorder offences and are due to be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court in the coming days.

According to South Yorkshire Police, 18 people have so far appeared in court charged with various offences relating to the hotel disturbance.

The force said more than 60 officers were injured in violence at the hotel, alongside four police dogs and a police horse, when items such as bricks and bottles were hurled at them.

At Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on Monday, Stuart Bolton, 38, pleaded guilty to using or threatening to use unlawful violence, driving without insurance and driving while disqualified.

The court heard how Bolton committed the driving offences to travel to the scene of the riot.

CCTV footage captured the groundworker, of Manchester Square, New Holland, North Lincolnshire, shouting racist slurs and threatening to “kill and knock out officers” who attended the scene.

The court also heard how he had bragged at a petrol station about his participation in the large-scale violence.

Bolton was told he would be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday.

As he was led from the dock, he waved and smiled at his crying daughter and partner and said, “I love you”.

Billy Pemberton, a painter and decorator from Rotherham, also admitted violent disorder charges and possession of an offensive weapon in relation to picking up a police baton.

Pemberton, 31, of Rosehill Road in Rawmarsh, was remanded into custody and is due to be sentenced on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Elliot Wragg, 23, of Assembly Way in Barnsley, Glyn Guest of Pearson Crescent in Wombwell, and Trevor Lloyd, 49, of Oak Avenue in Wath upon Dearne, all pleaded guilty to using or threatening to use unlawful violence.

Also at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on Monday, Peter Lynch, 61, of Burman Road in Wath upon Dearne, admitted a charge of violent disorder at the hotel in Manvers.

Lynch is due be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday.
