Three men—Martin Peagram, Dean Smith, and Stuart Williams—were jailed for roles in violent clashes, with sentences from one year and 10 months to two years and four months, after assaulting officers and climbing rooftops.
A fourth man, Luke Fleming, 21, denies charges and awaits trial.
Joshua Claydon, 20, received six years and three months for a 2023 crash on the A13 where he drove at 81mph, killing 18-year-old Ellie Jo Evers and causing permanent injury to another passenger; the car was overcrowded, lacked a functioning black box, and only one seatbelt was used.
