A disgusting lout staged a dirty protest in his police cell after being arrested for using a stolen bank card.
Liam Lynn took exception to being detained on suspicion of fraud, so smeared his own excrement over his cell's walls and door. A court heard that the 32-year-old had used the bank card to make two transactions at an Esso garage in Newcastle after its owner realised it had been stolen half an hour earlier.
The crook managed to purchase cigarettes and scratch cards, worth £26.69, but had his second attempt to use the card to buy more cigarettes and scratch cards, worth £60, at the same location just three minutes later declined. Police viewed the garage's CCTV footage the following morning and identified Lynn as the culprit.
