Former police officer held in cell after confronting yobs. 21st century crime and punishment.

A former police officer was arrested and held in a cell after confronting a group of unruly teenagers over their behaviour.

Paul Lawson, 52, challenged the youths after they threw a beer can at his car as he drove past.

Mr Lawson told two police officers that the gang had threatened to kill him and smash up his vehicle.

But he was then accused of attacking one of the teenagers and held in a police cell for two hours before being bailed on suspicion of assault causing bodily harm.

The former inspector from Morpeth, Northumberland, who served 30 years with London’s Metropolitan Police, was eventually told seven weeks later that no further action would be taken against him.

He said: “I still can’t believe this. As far as I am concerned, the police just abrogated their responsibility and should be ashamed of themselves.”

The incident happened late on a Friday night as Mr Lawson and his wife Chris, 54, a nurse, drove home.

Mr Lawson said: “They were the usual crowd of boy racers who gather in Morpeth and I got out and moved towards them.

“I was planning on making a citizen’s arrest but things very quickly turned nasty. I was surrounded by about 12 of them.

“They told me to leave or they would kill me and the ringleader said if he saw my car parked in Morpeth again they would wreck it.”

Mr Lawson found two patrolling police officers in the town centre and reported the incident to them, but said they did not bother to take his details and simply promised to patrol the area.

A fortnight later he was summoned to Bedlington police station where he was interviewed, arrested and held in a cell.

Mr Lawson said: “I was told I had been arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and that a youth claimed I had grabbed and bruised him. I was absolutely furious about that, it was unbelievable.

“Up to today I have not heard about any action taken against the youths who threatened me.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
