A young woman could face prison after pouring human faeces over a memorial to Sir Captain Tom Moore in an East Midlands village. Madeleine 'Maddie' Budd poured the liquid on the life-sized statue of the World War Two veteran and NHS hero, located at the Thistley Meadow, in Hatton, Derbyshire.
The incident happened on Friday, September 20. The 21-year-old, of Manchester, spoke quietly to confirm her name, address, date of birth and enter a guilty plea when she appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court yesterday, Tuesday, October 4, reports Staffordshire Live.
Derbyshire Police charged Budd on Monday with criminal damage to the war memorial to the value of £200. The memorial belongs to AGC Fabrications, whose managing director Austin Cox gifted the statue to the village in memory of Captain Tom.
