A man who described himself as an “anti-vaxer” has been given a Criminal Behavior Order after he was abusive towards staff at a COVID-19 vaccination centre in King's Lynn.

53 year old Spencer Walker of Charlock, had denied one count of threatening behaviour but was convicted at Peterborough Magistrates Court.

He was fined more than £1,500 pounds after it happened in January at the vaccine site in King’s Street.

Police say Walker pushed his way in after being told he could only enter if he had an appointment. Once inside, he told staff he was an ‘anti-vaxer’ and shouted at members of the public waiting for appointments, calling them ‘murderers’.

Police were called to the scene and arrested Walker on suspicion of threatening behaviour.

He was taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre and later charged.
