Arrest warrant issued on football fan

AN ARREST warrant has been issued on a football fan facing hooligan charges after he failed to turn up for trial.

Ben Waddington (20), from Blackburn, Rotherham, should have been at Blackfiars Crown Court this week.

Waddington, aka Ben Brammer, is alleged to have been involved in trouble at King’s Cross following Rotherham United’s play-off final defeat in May 2010.

Anyone with information about him is asked to call British Transport Police on 0800 405040, quoting reference B6 of 27/7/2011.

Seven other fans awaiting sentence—see this week’s Advertiser.
