Three more thugs have been jailed for their parts in violent disorder in Rotherham back in August.
Joshua Lane was seen rocking a police van, as well as throwing rocks and planks of wood at officers.
The 27 year old of Park Road, Brierley, was sentenced to two years and eight months in jail for violent disorder at Sheffield Crown Court yesterday (Thurs 3 Oct).
Also present at the disorder was Michael Shaw. After refusing to move when asked to by officers, he then lashed out and kicked a riot shield.
An online livestream also showed Shaw goading officers and placing an item in a bin that was on fire.
Shaw, 26, of Pagnell Avenue, Thurnscoe, was jailed for two years and six months.
Ricky Cotton was part of a violent mob who attacked officers at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel. He was seen throwing items at officers.
