Hickman was released on licence on November 21, 2024, but was stopped by Merseyside Police on Monday, June 6, 2026, on William Jessop Way in Liverpool city centre.
Details of the arrest
During a search of the vehicle, officers found cannabis and several mobile phones at an address. Hickman was charged with breaching the terms of his SCPO and possession of a controlled Class B drug. He appeared at Wirral Magistrates Court on Tuesday, July 7, where he denied the offence.
