Police have charged a man with obstructing a police officer and breaching Covid-19 regulations after officers were called to a report of 40 to 50 people gathering at a cafe in Gedling.
Shaun Everest, 47, of Ossington Close, Meden Vale, Mansfield, has been granted conditional bail to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 29 January 2021.
A 53-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of failing to provide his details to police while they attempted to issue a Covid fixed penalty notice. He was released having provided his details and was issued with a £200 fixed penalty notice.
On arrival the premises was locked with a large number of people inside – despite the health protection regulations.
Inspector Chris Pearson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The lockdown regulations are intended to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and save lives.
“Most people across the county have been playing their part in limiting the spread of the virus but sadly there remain a few people who refuse to adhere to our efforts to engage, explain and educate and consequently we will not hesitate to work with our partners to enforce the regulations.”
