A man who tried to take a flare into a Liverpool FC away match was jailed after twice breaching a suspended sentence.
Luke Dwyer was originally hauled before the courts last year after being convicted of dangerous driving while barred from getting behind the wheel. Despite being given a chance on that occasion, the 29-year-old went on to commit two more offences and cried in court today as he landed himself in prison for the first time.
Dwyer was described by the judge, Recorder Daniel Prowse, as having an “appalling” driving record and had narrowly avoided prison in 2021 after a judge handed him a 10-month sentence, suspended for 18 months. Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, said Liverpool FC fan Dwyer was then picked up by a ground search dog as he tried to get in to Selhurst Park to see Liverpool play Crystal Palace on Sunday, January 23 this year.
