A woman copper once told me that she wanted to charge a bloke with being a prat, "but, unfortunately, that is not an offence".I believe he's only an alleged dick at the moment.
So, he had to be done for a few other things, instead.

Without giving too much away, one of mine went to school with them 2. Both were little shits then.
SS once fired an air rifle at the school (Tillington Manor), the pellet just missed one of the teachers. His mother couldn't give a monkeys over what he'd done.
He also went school with the Garner lad. How he turned out as lovely as he did, I haven't a clue.

No doubt they will breed, copiously, so that they too can bring up a generation of little shits.

The cops say - Two armed robbers who threatened staff with a knife and a machete and stole thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes and cash at a supermarket in Stafford have been jailed.
The men, both from Stafford, were caught when they tried to check into a hotel with bin bags full of the cigarettes, cash and spirits they’d stolen hours earlier.
Gavin Milgate and Scott Stretton were sentenced at Stafford Crown Court today (5 January) for the robbery at Tesco Express, in Stone Road, Stafford, on 4 October 2017.
Milgate, aged 34, of no fixed address, was sentenced to 5 years 3 months for robbery, two counts of possession of an offensive weapon and theft of a motor vehicle. Milgate's sentence also included 14 weeks for a suspended sentence for an earlier offence.
Stretton, aged 34, of Young Avenue, Holmcroft, Stafford, was sentenced to 6 years for robbery and two counts of possession of an offensive weapon.
Stretton's sentence also included a 14-week suspended sentence for an earlier offence and 5 months for an attempted burglary at a house near Haughton, Stafford, on 15 August 2017.
Both pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing at Stafford Crown Court on 10 November 2017.
Stafford Crown Court heard that the robbery took place between 11.15pm and midnight on 4 October 2017.
Three female members of staff were closing the Tesco Express store when two men came in and threatened them with a carving knife and a machete. The men stole money and a large quantity of cigarettes before stealing one of the staff member’s cars, a Ford Mondeo, to make their getaway.
One of the members of staff reported being met by two men with knives and ordered to ‘get on the floor’ and ‘turn off the alarms.’ The men got the staff members to open crisp boxes and empty them so they could be filled with money and cigarettes.
Another member of staff was told to reverse her car to the back doors of the shop. When she stalled the car, one of the men pressed a knife to her throat and said, ‘If you stall one more time I’ll slit your throat.’
The court was told that the following day (5 October 2017) Stretton and Milgate had gone into the Holiday Inn hotel in Walsall and asked if they could store their ‘tools’ until the check-in time of 2pm.
Hotel staff were suspicious and called police reporting that 12 bin bags full of cigarettes, spirits and cash had been carried by the men. Afterwards, the two bought suitcases and hid them in undergrowth after putting the cash inside. It has not been recovered.
Milgate and Stretton were arrested on their return to the hotel.
The men stole various brands of cigarettes to a value of around £8,340 and around £8,700 in coins and notes. They also took spirits and razors to the combined value of around £300.
Detective Inspector John Quilty, of Staffordsh e Police, said: “We take these incidents very seriously. This was a very frightening experience for the members of staff involved so we’re pleased the work of our detectives has resulted in successful convictions for these men.
“We want to extend our thanks to the witnesses for their cooperation and to the local community for their support.”
Detective Constable Kathryn Middleton, of Staffordshire Police, said: “This was a terrifying ordeal for the staff members as they completed their day’s work and prepared to go home.
“We’d like to commend them for their bravery and resilience. We’re delighted these men were arrested swiftly and are now behind bars in a matter of weeks since committing this robbery.”

I'm sure they'll come out of prison thoroughly reformed and make a positive contribution to society.The cops say - Two armed robbers who threatened staff with a knife and a machete and stole thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes and cash at a supermarket in Stafford have been jailed.

Four were initially arrested for the Tesco job, a 36-year-old and a 32-year-old were "released under investigation".
