Three people jailed in aftermath of Bristol disorder
They received prison sentences combining a total of six years and two months.
Three people have been jailed for their part in the violent disorder in Bristol earlier this month.
Zak Baker, 29, Lisa Bishop, 38, and Jamie Easterbrook, 43, had all pleaded guilty to violent disorder during earlier court appearances and were all sentenced yesterday at Bristol Crown Court.
Baker received two years and four months, Bishop two years and two months, and Easterbrook a year and eight months.
Detective Chief Inspector Clement Goodwin said: “The behaviour of some people on that day was completely unacceptable. It was not a lawful protest.
“Three people have now been handed lengthy prison sentences after admitting to their involvement in the shameful scenes we saw that day and we are continuing to identify and arrest others who also played a part.
“We always work to facilitate peaceful protest but when that crosses the line into criminality we will take action.
“A total of 29 people have now been arrested with 15 having since been charged and those numbers will continue to increase as the investigation progresses.”
