Strangeways protester, 'seasoned' drug dealer and stalker: The criminals put behind bars
A Strangeways prisoner who spent 12 hours protesting on the roof of the high security jail was among those jailed this week. Joe Outlaw eventually came down from the roof at about 4am on Thursday morning after spending the night protesting against a controversial punishment which he is currently subject to.
Hours after coming down from the roof Outlaw appeared at Bolton Crown Court by video link from HMP Manchester and was sentenced for a previous incident at HMP Hindley in Wigan. Outlaw, 36, admitted causing criminal damage to his cell on January 28 last year. Prosecutor John Richards said on September 13 last year, a woman, who uses a mobility scooter, left her home to go shopping in Eccles town centre. While she was in Morrisons she was approached by Osmanovic who asked if she wanted to ‘smoke bacon’.
Dan Gaskell, mitigating, said his client had a ‘sorry history of offending’ and that the ‘meanest’ offences of theft and fraud were characterised by her dependency on class A drugs. The pair had met friends for breakfast before driving to Brighton to watch Liverpool play a Premier League game in January 2019. About 15 minutes after they arrived three men wearing dark clothing and balaclavas burst in armed with a sawn-off shotgun, machete and baseball bat.
They found a VW Golf with a bullet lodged in the driver’s door. Enquiries later revealed that Lemonious was involved in the shooting. Lemonious, of Shady Lane, Wythenshawe, was sentenced to 18 years in prison, Dervan, of no fixed abode, received seven-and-a-half years, and Harmer, of Pemberton Street, Old Trafford, was handed a four year jail term.
Sentencing, the judge, Recorder Michael Blakey said: “The restraining order was imposed to protect your former partner, you breached it by attending and thereafter assaulting her. She thought the protective order imposed by the court would provide her protection.” When she started a new job, he asked to buy a necklace with the same initial as her first name. The woman told Mohammed to leave her alone, but over the next few months, she noticed him walking past and starting at her.
But his trust in the EncroChat system came back to haunt him after he was linked to a huge operation directed by a Spain based drugs boss. Carroll was involved in supplying more than 11 kilos of cocaine, in deals which raked in about £674,000.
