The charges relate to protests on 2 June in the Portswood area of Southampton, during which Frost threw dustbins and a chair at police officers and taunted them with the weapon. District Judge Anthony Callaway ruled the offences were too serious for the magistrates’ court, remanding Frost in custody and transferring the case to Southampton Crown Court for sentencing on 16 July. The protests erupted following the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, for which Vickrum Digwa, 23, was recently sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in prison, and public anger over police body-worn video of Nowak's final moments. Frost's defence highlighted his shame and vulnerability, noting he receives Personal Independence Payment (PIP) due to a serious fall, while the court heard of his extensive criminal record of 25 convictions for 55 offences.
