Man charged in connection with violent disorder and assault during Weymouth protests

A 38-year-old man from the Weymouth area has been arrested in connection with the protests that took place on Sunday 4th August 2024 in the town.

Following the review of footage, enquiries were carried out at the man’s home address – he was arrested and taken to custody where he was subsequently charged with violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker.

He is due to appear at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Friday 9 August 2024.

Assistant Chief Constable Mark Callaghan said: “Our approach to recent demonstrations has been clear, we will facilitate safe and legal protest but we must balance this with minimising impact on our communities. Where individuals are suspected of committing public order or criminal offences, we will deal with this robustly as this will not be tolerated.

“Dorset Police has a team of officers dedicated to reviewing crime reports and video footage of protest activity in order to identify any crimes that may have been committed. These will be swiftly investigated with suspected offenders being put before the courts.
