A one man crimewave who caused chaos across the city centre has been jailed. Roger Clarke, 54, repeatedly lost his temper, abusing receptionists, managers, police and members of the public in a fit of rage.
Clarke, of Fallowfield, admitted offences of criminal damage, public order, racially aggravated harassment, assaulting an emergency worker and affray and was jailed for 16 months. He was also banned from going into the city centre as well as two residential homes for vulnerable people.
Manchester Crown Court was told of the first incident, on August 1 2021 at around 9.30am following a mix-up regarding Clarke’s social worker at the Booth Centre in Cheetham Hill. He became aggressive and was asked to leave, but he became argumentative and told the woman on reception: “you better stay away from me today”.
