Police dog bites Hartlepool rioter on his bottom as he taunts cops

Bingo fan bitten on backside by police dog, 69-year-old grandfather who joined rioting mob and protester floored by a riot shield are all put behind bars

Britain's crackdown over the riots sparked by the killing of three girls in Southport continued today - as thugs including a bingo fan bitten on the backside by a police dog, and a grandfather who was part of a rioting mob were jailed.

Ryan Sheers, who yelled 'I pay your wages' at embattled officers before a police dog nipped him, wept in court as he was jailed for more than two years today.

The 28-year-old and his boyfriend Steven Mailen, 54, had spent the day at the bingo together before walking into the middle of the disorder that rocked Hartlepool on July 31.

Each received sentences of two years and two months in prison by a judge who told them the public were 'rightly outraged by the behaviour seen on the streets of this country.'

Elsewhere, two rioters who were both 'at the forefront' of violent disorder across Britain last week were jailed for a total of more than five years.

Britain's oldest rioter William Nelson Morgan, 69, and gas fitter John O'Malley, 43, were jailed for two years and eight months each in the first televised sentencing of the riots.
