Another Dole-Sponger Who Can Afford To Keep Dogs. And Have Children…

The judge told Walton: "It is a serious case when you intimidate someone who you know is going to be a witness against you, and intimidate him with a hammer.
"You will have to learn, as will other people in Stoke-on-Trent, that if you try to intimidate people who are going to be witnesses, there will be serious consequences."
Are you kidding me? He only got a year!
He was acquitted of having a dog dangerously out of control after Judge Granville Styler said he could not be sure which of the dogs had bitten Mr Hill.
Then destroy them both.
Walton's defence barrister, David Pojar, had earlier pleaded with the judge to show leniency.
He said recovering drug addict Walton had got married just ten days before his clash with Morris, and he and his wife had a 19-month-old baby.
*sigh*
Mr Pojar said Walton's mother-in-law had recently been the victim of an assault, and she relied on Walton as the only qualified driver in the family.
Oh, where’s my tiny violin?
"The two men weren't expecting to come across one another," Mr Pojar said.
"His temper got the better of him."
No, his contempt for any meaningful consequences got the better of him…
The barrister said Walton had been offered work, but the offer was dependent on the outcome of yesterday's court hearing.
He had also been placed on a methdone treatment programme.
Mr Pojar added: "All I can do is to invite the court to impose a sentence which is as short as possible."
Looks like it worked…

The courts sometimes remind me of the Jeremy Kyle show where the participants / defendants are always just about to be offered work.

P.S. why is a man who swings hammers as weapons and can't control dogs allowed in the same house as baby P - sorry, this baby.

Walton appears to possess all the attributes for plod work but his preference for intimidating others whilst drawing dole, is a disgrace.

Send a few large lads around,show him what intimidation really means.
Start by making him eat the dogs.

Employers now regard someone who is probe to violent armed attacks on people accompanying minors an asset ?

What is/was he going to be employed as ? A mercenary for the taliban ?

Tatty, good point after all who would employ someone like that. If someone did then I bet that their insurance premiums would go up.

This is pretty much the candidate profile for a car-clamper. Levi Bellfield made a substantial living at it, when he wasn't murdering teenagers.

Rob,

Why not just let the dogs eat him?
