He Didn’t ‘Threaten’, He Attempted!

Angry Martin Williams threatened to set fire to a police station with petrol and a lighter – after accusing officers of stealing £350 from his house.
The 43-year-old doused the foyer of Longton police station with fuel just a day after officers were called to a fire at his Sandford Hill home.
Members of the public looked on in horror as Williams pulled out a plastic lighter to ignite the petrol.
But the defendant was disarmed by a police officer using CS spray and arrested outside the Sutherland Road station.
If not for them tackling him, does anyone doubt he’d have managed it?
Now Williams has walked from Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court with a suspended prison sentence after admitting threatening to damage or destroy the police station on September 7 last year.
*sigh*

Oh, that £350? What happened to it?
In his police interview, Williams, who now lives with his parents in Canberra Crescent, Meir, apologised for the incident. He later found the £350 he believed had been stolen.
He should have it confiscated.

Meir, apologised for the incident. He later found the £350 he believed had been stolen.

Bwaaahahahaha

Another case for the return of public floggings I think?

This was clearly wrong. A light sentence was only appropriate had Mr Williams actually set plod on fire.

Sounds to me like the police should take a closer look at that fire round his house.
