Hunt told police: 'I am not dangerous, I am a normal person, I have got a few problems.'
Joshua Hunt arrives at Bristol Magistrates Court accused of being the ‘Somerset gimp’ A woman has described the moment she saw the Somerset gimp. Lucy Lodge said she was driving home through Bleadon, Somerset, when she spotted someone – later identified as Joshua Hunt, 32 – moving on the floor. He is on trial for two counts of causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress at Bristol Magistrates’ Court. Miss Lodge said: ‘He was writhing and crawling as if in a military fashion.
’ The teenager in the car said when he saw the man he grabbed the door handle in case he tried to open the door. ‘I was angry that he scared Samantha and Chloe,’ he said. Following reports of the second incident, police went to Bleadon and spotted a white Berlingo van in a field which was reversing and decided to stop it. Pc Declan Coppock spoke to the defendant, who was wearing grey trousers and a black hooded top, and arrested him – with Hunt telling him he was not a gimp.
