Wolves Fan Charged over Alleged A66 Tragedy Mockery Message
Police identified the suspect after viral footage showed a phone message mocking the A66 crash that killed seven people.
- On Monday, Cleveland Police arrested a 20-year-old Wolves fan from Walsall on suspicion of a Section 4a Public Order Offence following an offensive message displayed during Saturday's Middlesbrough match at the Riverside.
- Footage circulating online shows the fan holding a phone displaying "Police Killed Your Own," a message that reportedly mocks the August 22 A66 crash that killed seven people, including two police officers.
- Cleveland Police and West Midlands Police collaborated to identify the suspect, with Dedicated Football Officer PC Chris Hilton stating the force investigates "alarming and distressing behaviour" to ensure matches remain "safe and enjoyable."
- The suspect has been remanded in custody and will appear at court in Wolverhampton on Tuesday, October 13, following the incident at the 150th anniversary fixture, which Middlesbrough won 1-0.
- An official investigation into the A66 crash previously ruled out police "tactical contact" with the Volkswagen, with the Independent Office for Police Conduct noting the collision occurred moments after a pursuit was aborted.
