Man Sentenced for Public Order Offences at Wrexham Vigil

A 49-year-old man has today been sentenced to 14 weeks in prison after ‘shouting obscenities’ at a local vigil held for the victims of the Manchester attack.

Steven Barry Ellis from Wrexham was arrested for public order offences at the vigil on Llwyn Isaf last night, after he shouted obscenities as the minute silence was being observed.

He appeared before Wrexham Magistrates today, Saturday 27th May, and was sentenced immediately.

Supt Rob Kirman said: “The immediate sentencing of this man demonstrates that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated in North Wales.”
