Evil Rioter Jailed for 9 years

[A man who tried to set fire to a
hotel housing asylum seekers has
been jailed for nine years,
the joint-longest prison sentence
in connection with the UK's summer of riots.

Levi Fishlock smashed windows and stoked
a flaming bin at the Holiday Inn Express
in Manvers, Rotherham, during a spate
of disorder on 4 August.



Fishlock, 31, of Sheffield Road, Barnsley,
initially denied violent disorder and arson
with intent to endanger life but later pleaded
guilty to the charges.

Jailing him, the Recorder of Sheffield,
Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, said: "This is one
of the worst cases of its kind stemming from
the Rotherham disorder."]
