A man who caused a two-hour stand-off with riot police after a row with his mum got out of control has been jailed.

Dale Brown – thought to be high on drink and drugs – hurled shards of glass from the second-floor flat onto the street below. He even set fire to curtains at the Gravesend property before clambering through a window and on to the roof.

His distressed mum pleaded for him to be thrown back in prison after the frightening incident on Friday night.

Police received a 999 call from a house in Park Place, Gravesend, at about 8pm.

When officers arrived, they found Marilyn Lloyd, Brown’s mum, in the street saying she’d had a row with her 21-year-old son.

Brown, who only last month received a suspended sentence, was brought quickly before the courts.

Edward Parton, prosecuting, told Dartford Magistrates Court on Monday: “Brown was going back in the house and shouted ‘I’ll stab anyone who comes in here after me’.

“He ran upstairs and climbed out of a window, he was shouting ‘I’ll have a fight with all those scumbags’.”

Brown then kicked a window and started hurling shards of broken glass at the police officers who had followed him.

The road was sealed off as they called for back up and asked for specialist riot clothing and equipment to be brought to the scene.

His mother later said he had gone to the second-floor flat, high on a cocktail of drugs and alcohol and verbally abused her and his stepfather before the police were called.

Brown had already spent 18 months in Rochester and Emley prisons and was on a 5pm curfew.

On Brown’s bedroom wall was a neatly laid-out display of drug test certificates and qualifications obtained while in prison.

The court also heard he was on license from court after receiving a suspended sentence in April for taking a vehicle without consent.

Mr Parton said: “As the officers were climbing upstairs to arrest him, he set fire to the curtains. He was constantly throwing objects at them and the whole incident lasted about two hours, with 15 officers all dressed in riot gear.”

Brian Jelley, chairman of the bench at Dartford Magistrates Court, gave Brown the maximum sentence of 180 days in prison for the affray, which he pleaded guilty to, and another 180 days for breaking his license.

He said: “What you did during this affray was frightening. This was a desperate situation and we notice the appalling record you have.”
