Hunt told police: 'I am not a gimp – I do not own a gimp suit. I am not in a gimp suit.'
Joshua Hunt arrives at Bristol Magistrates Court accused of being the ‘Somerset gimp’ A man who brought terror to a village in Somerset has been found guilty by magistrates today. Joshua Hunt, 32, dressed up as a gimp and prowled through the streets of Bleadon, causing panic. He denied two counts of causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress, but was found guilty this afternoon. Lucy Lodge, one of his victims, 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.
