The dad was unable to watch as video footage revealed his crimes
A dad who previously won a Pride of Sefton Award hung his head in shame in court after he hurled bricks, a slab of concrete and a wheelie bin at police officers. Joshua Cropper was honoured for rescuing five dogs who were trapped inside a burning house only last year. But he then became embroiled in violent scenes in Southport following the fatal stabbings of six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice Da Silva Aguiar in July.
They are all victims of these circumstances. 'The defendant has done charity work. Your honour will be impressed by his Pride of Sefton Award. The defendant was aware of a burning property and forced entry and saved a number of dogs from an extremely risky situation. 'He risked his life and was presented with an award for that. He is proud of that. He is ashamed of what he did here. It was delinquent behaviour, and he would be the first to admit that.
