FOURTEEN more people - including three 16 year old boys - are to appear in court over alleged involvement in last summer’s disturbance outside the Manvers Holiday Inn hotel.

Police have released details of those accused, and their court dates, days after James Garbutt, 41, of Kingsbrook Chase, Wath-upon-Dearne was jailed for two years and four months.

He was caught on camera pushing shopping trolleys into a police car and he also had his young son sat on his shoulders as the incident unfolded.

He admitted violent disorder.

Garbutt was identified on several video clips, with South Yorkshire Police describing his behaviour as “shameful”.

After his arrest, Garbutt told officers he had been in the area to ‘feed the ducks’ with his son at a nearby lake and described his actions as a “moment of stupidity”.

He became the 89th person to be sentenced over the incident and 78 have been locked up so far.

Now a 16 year old boy is due at Sheffield Youth Court on April 30, accused of violent disorder and arson with intent to endanger life.
