Antony Caton, 57, who previously avoided prison after smearing faeces in a police cell and on a hospital bed, is now behind bars. He was jailed for 12 months at Leeds Crown Court on Tuesday, August 18, for breaching a suspended sentence order.
Racist tirade at Morrisons
Prosecutor Mia Nath told the court that on December 17, Caton entered Morrisons in Rothwell. A security guard asked him to leave, telling him he was banned. Caton returned and was again asked to leave. He responded with a tirade of racist abuse, calling the staff member a "suicide bomber" and telling him to go back to his own country.
He also said: "I'm going to kill them all" and "All p**** should be put in a box and burnt alive, that's what we used to do in the old days." CCTV footage showed the incident spilling out into the street, where two women witnessed what was happening. Ms Nath said: "They had already been caused harm by the defendant in the days prior and their employer made changes to the opening hours to protect their safety."
Abuse of police officer
On Christmas Day, an officer went to arrest Caton in relation to allegations made by staff at a store that he was "loitering outside." Caton asked the officer if he was Polish, and when he confirmed he was, he said: "If I was you I'd shut your stupid f****** Polish mouth."
He also asked the officer if he had visited "Polish concentration camps" and said: "You come here taking our money and sending it back to Poland" and "I hope Putin blows you up and I hope they invade your country and wipe you out. You deserve to be killed." During his arrest, Caton was found to be in possession of cannabis. He was later arrested for stealing from a shop in Leeds.
Caton, of Main Street, Carlton, Wakefield, was jailed for 12 months.
