Judge calls man 'arrogant' as he jails him for attacks on covid jab centres

An anti-vaxxer had 'no right' to cause £11k worth of damage to coronavirus jab centres, a judge has ruled.

Paul Leonard Edwards, of Warrington, failed to convince a jury at Mold Crown Court he was justified to carry out criminal damage last year at two separate Covid vaccination sites in North Wales. A separate matter of common assault was discharged from the record after the jury couldn't reach a verdict.

Edwards, who chose to represent himself after telling the court he no longer trusted his solicitor, attacked two sites in the region offering Covid-19 vaccinations. The court heard how he caused over £11,000 in damages during both incidents, DailyPost reports.
