Cannock Magistrates' Court Sentencing Results

On November 27, 2025, at 11am, Mohammed Amin, under the influence of monkey dust, pulled out two knives with four-inch blades and threatened two women in a car on Waterloo Road, Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent, attempting to enter the vehicle. Police tasered and restrained him. Separately, between March 29 and April 21, 2025, he made 24 calls to 999, often incoherent due to drug use (monkey dust and cocaine), causing annoyance, inconvenience, and anxiety, including a false burglary report linked to his mental health struggles and paranoia.

Morgan Halliday, 25, of Flintshire, Wales, was spotted driving a Volvo on Seighford Lane in March 2025 while disqualified and under the influence of cannabis.

He provided a positive test for cannabis upon arrest.

Shawn Doolan stole items worth £534 from three shops and two victims in Stoke-on-Trent between March 22 and September 12, 2025. He ignored a ban on entering Home Bargains at Etruria, entering the shop three times on September 11 and 12.

Darnell McCollins sexually assaulted two teenage girls outside Stafford Crown Court while he was on trial for another offence.

A worker at Bridgnorth Aluminium Limited in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, was crushed by a 1.5-tonne hydraulic launder arm on May 10, 2023, while kneeling inside a casting mould. The arm fell due to hydraulic failure, trapping him for 22 minutes and causing life-changing injuries. The company had not assessed the risks or implemented a suitable safe system of work, and the safety bar was not fit for purpose. The incident occurred at temperatures around 100C, and the worker has not returned to work since.
