Student who threw five eggs at King Charles during York visit found guilty of public order offence
A student who threw five eggs at King Charles during a visit to York has been found guilty of a public order offence.
Thelwell was a given a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay costs of £600 and a £114 surcharge at a rate of £5 per week.Michael Smith, prosecuting, said that as the eggs were thrown, Thelwell shouted offensive remarks about the King, which included accusing the monarch of being "friends with Jimmy Savile".
The court heard that Thelwell signed a custody form after his arrest with an obscenity and a drawing of an egg. He said he disputed the legitimacy of the court to try him as he said the Crown Prosecution Service worked for the monarchy and that he had "acted out of necessity". Speaking outside York Magistrates' Court before the verdict, Thelwell had said he had "no regrets and no apology to the King".Sentencing Thelwell, senior district judge Paul Goldspring said: "This was a gratuitous and pernicious act, particularly the pejorative comments made about the King.
