A DAD who took his baby to a scene of violent disorder in Manvers - where he ended up launching panels from a wooden fence at officers - is one of those recently sentenced.

Mason Reddy was seen by police bringing a small child in a pram to the riots outside Holiday Inn Express on August 4.

The 24-year-old, of Victoria Street, Goldthorpe, chose to wear a jacket with the name of his Sunday league football team on the day, which ultimately led to his arrest on August 22 - he was charged with violent disorder and pleaded guilty to the offence.

He has now been sentenced to three years behind bars for his actions, alongside six others at Sheffield Crown Court last Wednesday.

Others sentenced include Lee Marshall, who was seen aggressively engaging with officers.

The 39-year-old of Princess Street was recorded on body-worn video pushing into riot shields to prevent police from moving forward - one of the officers affected by Marshall’s violent actions said that she was left fearing for her own personal safety.

He was jailed for two years and two months at Sheffield Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to violent disorder and the assault of an emergency worker.

A 17-year-old boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons, was ordered to complete a 24-month youth rehabilitation order and has been placed under curfew for six months.

The boy was seen aggressively waving a wooden stick at officers before being detained by PD Luna - he had previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder and at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court.

Daniel Dicks, of Probert Avenue, Goldthorpe, has been jailed for two years and eight months.

The 33-year-old was seen to push a shopping trolley into the path of an oncoming police van and was then captured on CCTV ripping up fence posts at the side of the hotel.

Last week, the council claimed that a ‘significant’ amount of those involved in the disorder had previous convictions for violent offences.

Council leader, Sir Steve Houghton, told the Chronicle: “The riot was an act of violence and hate.

“A significant number of people who have committed these crimes are from our local communities in Barnsley.

“Many of these individuals had prior criminal offences and their actions would appear to have been driven by pure criminality, not protest.

“However, their actions do not define Barnsley these people and their actions are not representative of our town or its people.

“Barnsley is known for its warmth, inclusivity, and strong community spirit.”
