A MAN has been jailed after throwing missiles at police officers during the disorder at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Manvers in August.
Wearing a balaclava, Sonny Ackerman was recorded throwing rocks at officers in a police cordon. An online video later showed Ackerman launching a bin towards officers.
After seeing a photo of himself on a social media appeal, Ackerman handed himself in at a police station. The 30-year-old was interviewed but refused to comment on his involvement in the disorder.
On August 22 at Sheffield Crown Court, Ackerman, of Birkdale Drove, Ashton-on-Ribble, Lancashire, pleaded guilty to violent disorder. Yesterday (Tuesday December 3) at the same court he was jailed for two years and four months and handed a 10-year Criminal Behaviour Order.
Over 75 people have been convicted for their involvement in the scenes of deplorable violence in Manvers. In total over 165 years of jail sentences have been handed to those involved.
