A climate change protester who tied himself to the goalpost at a Premier League match has been handed a six-week prison sentence.
She said his actions were "reckless" and "potentially very dangerous".
McKechnie, who was wearing an orange Just Stop Oil T-shirt, was on the pitch for around 10 minutes while stewards attempted to remove him, Mr Jones said. "When Mr McKechnie went onto the pitch and attached himself to the goalpost there was a lot of frustration, there was a lot of shouting, a lot of abuse and the occasional missile was being thrown onto the pitch in the direction of the goal."
McKechnie said he chose the fixture because Everton were playing Newcastle - a football team sponsored by oil company Saudi Aramco.
