Racially-aggravated assault and theft *

Sentence

4 months imprisonment, suspended for 9 months, 9-month supervision order, and 6-month alcohol treatment order

On March 13, 2010, Jonathan Waddington, a wheelchair-bound individual, stole a pork joint valued at £5 from a Tesco Express in Rye Lane, Peckham. He hid the item in his coat and, when confronted by supervisor Derrick Williams, threw it on the floor, used racial abuse, threatened violence, and made phone calls to arrange further intimidation. Waddington has a history of convictions including assault, drugs charges, and thefts, and his actions were linked to his struggles with alcohol following a leg amputation in 2008.

Pleaded guilty to racially-aggravated assault, theft, and breaching a conditional discharge. Judge Mark Bishop noted that the offences were taken seriously due to racial abuse and threats made to the victim.
