Man accused of punching police car amongst those in court over Epping migrant hotel violence
A man who took part in a demonstration outside a hotel housing asylum seekers has been warned he is likely to be jailed. Waitrose worker Dean Smith was one of several men to have appeared in court charged with violent disorder following protests outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex. Protests began after a migrant who was housed there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. A series of separate hearings took place at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday involving people alleged to have gone to the area during protests last month. Smith, 51, of Epping, pleaded guilty to a charge of violent disorder said to have happened on July 17. Judge Jamie Sawyer remanded Smith in custody until October 6 when he will be sentenced at the same court, and he warned the sentence would 'likely' be one of immediate custody. Barrister Christopher Martin, for Smith, told the court Smith 'lives with his mother and is her carer' and 'still works full-time for Waitrose where he's worked full-time for the last seven years'. Stuart Williams, 36, of Thornwood, Epping, pleaded guilty to violent disorder on July 17 and was remanded in custody until October 6 when he will be sentenced. The judge ordered a pre-sentence report about Williams and said: 'The strong likelihood is it will be an immediate prison sentence.' Lee Gower, 43, of Epping, pleaded not guilty to violent disorder and he also denied assaulting a police officer on July 17. Gower was remanded in custody until a further case management hearing on September 22. Shaun Thompson, 37, of Epping, who is alleged to have punched a police car, pleaded not guilty to violent disorder on July 17 and was bailed until a further case management hearing on September 22. Jonathan Glover, 47, of Waltham Abbey, was not asked to enter a plea to a charge of violent disorder said to have happened on July 17. Glover was bailed until September 22, when an application to dismiss his case is due to be heard. Keith Silk, 33, of Loughton, pleaded not guilty to violent disorder on July 17. Silk also denied criminal damage, having been accused of damaging a sign belonging to the Bell Hotel, and was bailed until a further case management hearing on September 22. Barrister Richard Reynolds, for defendant Aaron Elles, 28, of Harlow, said Elles wanted to make an application to vacate his guilty plea to a charge of violent disorder, entered at an earlier magistrates' court hearing. Elles was remanded in custody until a further case management hearing on September 22. Further hearings are listed later on Monday.

Man seriously injured after tractor falls off bridge on to M20
A man has been seriously injured after his tractor fell off a bridge and on to the M20. South East Coast Ambulance Service said it was called to a collision involving a tractor and a lorry on the A227 overbridge near Wrotham at 11.20am. The tractor fell on to the central reservation between junctions two and three of the M20 after the crash. The driver of the tractor was airlifted to King's College Hospital with serious injuries. Multiple ambulance crews, a critical care paramedic and the air ambulance attended the scene alongside Kent police and fire services. Kent Police said emergency services remain at the scene to deal with the incident, leaving the M20 and A227 closed. Large queues formed on either side of the overbridge following the collision. National Highways said all traffic caught within the ongoing closure - between junction three in Addington and junction one in Swanley - has since been released.
