Three more protesters have been jailed for a combined period of almost nine years after taking part in violent disorder against police following the murder of Henry Nowak.Andrew Summerhayes, 38, Taylor Grundy, 22, and Dillon Crawford, 29, were all at the front of a mob that confronted riot police during unrest in Southampton on June 2.Summerhayes picked up a wheelie bin and ran towards officers before stumbling and dropping it, while Grundy helped push a large commercial bin towards a police cordon and Crawford hurled a bin, a hub cap and part of a metal chair at officers.After his arrest, Summerhayes claimed all police officers were paedophiles because 'they wear uniforms'.The trio admitted violent disorder at Southampton Crown Court, with Summerhayes also pleading guilty to two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.Summerhayes, from Hampshire, was jailed for 38 months, Grundy, also from Hampshire, received 30 months, and Crawford, from Southampton, was sentenced to 36 months.Sentencing them, Judge William Mousley KC said: 'The violence was a hate crime born out of a hatred of the police and in some cases racism although it falls short of being racially motivated.'Grundy burst into tears in the dock as the sentence was passed, while his father called out: 'I love you mate' as he was led from the courtroom. Dillon Crawford, 29, hurled a bin, a hub cap and part of a metal chair at officers Andrew Summerhayes, 38, was sentenced to three years and two months for violent disorder and possession of an offensive weaponThe court heard Summerhayes was among those confronting police at the height of the disorder.Siobhan Linsley, prosecuting, said: 'On the night he was wearing a black zipper hoodie on blue jeans.'He was present on Belmont Road and can be seen standing very close to the line of the police officers in front of a house.'Watching the CCTV it would appear he would not get out of the line of the officers who were moving up the pavement. He is therefore forcibly moved from the path.'Having tried to resist this he can be seen resurging towards one officer who pushes him.'He picks up a large bin with a blue lid. He runs with it intending to catch up with the police.'He stumbles just in front of the police officers and drops the bin. He immediately picks up a traffic cone and stands aside to let the rest of the crowd pursue the officers.'In his interview when asked for the reason for the disorder he said police are paedophiles. He said because they wear uniforms. He said they have just not been caught.'Judge Mousley told him: 'Summerhayes, your actions plainly encouraged and added to the threat facing the officers. In the interview you gave grossly offensive answers.' Taylor Grundy, 22, was jailed for two years and six months for violent disorder after he threw a plank of wood at police officers and assisted others in pushing a large commercial bin that had been set alight toward the police cordon Henry (pictured) was arrested on a Southampton street last December after being attacked Vickrum Digwa was given a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years in prison for the murderThe court heard Summerhayes has 25 convictions for 45 offences, including weapons offences, assaulting a police officer, criminal damage, burglary, actual bodily harm and possession of a bladed article.In one previous incident when arrested he called a black officer 'a n***** and a P***'.Defending, Maddison Fisher said: 'Unfortunately Summerhayes has made a further big mistake. This offence represents a massive slip in his judgement following a long period of staying out of trouble.'Grundy was identified on footage wearing a red jacket near the front of the crowd.Ms Linsley said: 'He was seen wearing a distinctive red jacket. He was present at the disorder in front of the cordon.'Him and an associate go off and find a broken fence panel. He is seen pushing a large commercial bin at the police cordon.'He has a glass bottle in his hand but he does not throw it.'His barrister Simon Walters said: 'He wasn't someone who was goading officers. He is not a shepherd he is a sheep.'He demonstrated an astoundingly underdeveloped understanding of the disorder. He was swept up in the tide of anger and emotion of others who behaved so thoroughly despicably.'Judge Mousley told him: 'Grundy I have read a letter from your father and your behaviour has brought shame on your father.'Grundy had two previous convictions for driving offences.Crawford was also at the front of the disorder and repeatedly threw items at police.Ms Linsley said: 'He was wearing a light grey hooded tracksuit, a baseball cap and had a backpack.'He aggressively pushes his way to the front of the crowd. He reaches down for a brown bin to throw at officers. He picks up hub cap which he threw.'He picks up part of a metal chair which he threw with some significant force.'The court heard Crawford had joined the protest after watching body-worn footage of Mr Nowak's arrest. 'Belligerent' Daniel Frost threatened police to 'come and get it' while armed with a makeshift knuckleduster and launched two chairs and a bin at officers Reece Robinson, 21, of Havant, admitted throwing stones at the policeHis barrister Francisca Da Costa said: 'Mr Crawford saw the body-worn footage of Henry Nowak's arrest and he was moved to tears.'He understands that his acts of stupidity mean he will miss the birth of his daughter.'Crawford has 19 previous convictions for 33 offences, including robbery, battery, burglary, shoplifting and actual bodily harm.He had previously been jailed for domestic abuse after headbutting his partner and putting bleach in her hair.Judge Mousley told him: 'Crawford you recognise that your short period of serious misconduct could have grave consequences for you and your family.'It comes after Reece Robinson, 21, and Daniel Frost were also jailed after admitting violent disorder during the chaos in Southampton on June 2.The 44-year-old father-of-two Frost was part of the 'baying mob' wearing a camouflaged mask, but brazenly told officers to arrest him after the protest in Southampton. Frost boasted that if they did, he 'would be home in four hours'. He said police needed to arrest someone and described an interviewer at the police station as a 'gaslighting b****'.Reece Robinson, 21, of Havant, admitted throwing stones at the police but claimed that he 'didn't really do much'. Having 'brought shame on his family', he was sentenced to two years in prison today after admitting violent disorder.Frost, from Southampton, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and possessing an offensive weapon and was jailed for two years and four months.He has 25 previous convictions for 55 offences and showed little emotion during the sentencing at Southampton Crown Court. Robinson has no previous convictions or cautions.The violence continued for around two-and-a-half hours. Twelve police officers suffered injuries, mainly after being struck by bricks, while a police dog received cuts to its legs.A member of the public who was not involved in the protest suffered a broken jaw.The policing operation cost £434,000, including the deployment of officers from outside the area.The five men sentenced this week bring the total number jailed over the disorder to seven following the imprisonment of Leon O'Leary, 41, from Basingstoke, and Connor Bishop, 24, of Southampton.In total, 21 people have been charged with violent disorder.The cases of Noah Etherington, 18, and Kevin Reeves, 31, who have both admitted violent disorder, have been adjourned until June 30.
