One of the drivers arrested during an M4 'go slow' protest has claimed police held her in "absolutely disgusting" conditions and hit her with a £150 charge to get her car back.
Vicky Stamper, from Cwmbran, was among 12 drivers arrested shortly before 11am on Monday near the M4 Severn Bridge, on suspicion of breaching a police notice not to drive under 30mph. Two convoys had been holding up traffic since around 7am with slow-moving roadblocks on both sides of the bridge. Police impounded Vicky's Vauxhall Corsa and the other vehicles involved in the protest against rising fuel costs. You can read more about that here.
Now Vicky has claimed to WalesOnline that she spent around 11 hours in custody, including about five hours in a cell with "blood up the wall, pee all over the place and a toilet with sick all over it". She has slammed Gwent Police's treatment of her in custody and a "ridiculous" £150 charge to retrieve her car.
