|June 04, 2025
A MAN who threw missiles towards counter-protesters and police during the summer city centre riots has been jailed.
Colin Miller, aged 35, picked up rocks and hurled them towards a rival group and police officers who were trying to maintain order.
He admitted to a probation officer that he used racist language during the disturbance. Now Miller has been jailed for 27 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.
Prosecutor Fiona Cortese said the defendant's involvement in the violence in Hanley on August 3 last year was captured on CCTV. Miss Cortese said: "He was in and around Hanley town centre. He was seen walking down towards the counter-protesters. He was stopped by police who told him to go or pushed him back on two occasions.
