A young troublemaker who faced being jailed after committing a whole series of offences got a very special birthday present to remember – he was not sent to prison after all. Kian Scott landed himself in trouble after shouting “I’ll kill you all” – and throwing a bicycle at a police officer – before defiantly barricading himself inside a house.
He had, during an earlier complete loss of control, left a trail of destruction after targeting a series of parked cars during a “bizarre rampage” of mindless criminal damage, Hull Crown Court heard. Scott, 22, of Sharp Street, west Hull, admitted assaulting a police officer as an emergency worker on April 23 last year.
He was in breach of an eight-month suspended custodial sentence imposed in December 2024 for damaging a window at a house on August 16, 2024 as well as five offences of causing criminal damage to five cars and an offence of attempted burglary at a house on August 19, 2024.
Beatrice Allsop, prosecuting, said that a police constable went to a house after a report of an ongoing incident involving six people. He knocked on the door and, after it was answered by someone else, he asked Scott to come over.
Scott said: “Get away before I smack them all. I will kill you all.” There was the sound of banging and clattering and the noise of a bottle smashing. The officer left for his own safety. Scott continued to throw things around and he shouted: “I’ll kill you all.”
He stormed downstairs and left the house. He made threats to the constable, grabbed a bicycle and threw it towards him. The officer had to move to avoid being hit and he drew his Taser.
He told Scott to get to the floor but he ran back into the house and barricaded himself behind the door.
Scott was arrested and he repeatedly apologised.
He had convictions for 10 previous offences, including being given a four-month suspended custodial sentence in August 2024 for possessing a knife. He was separately in breach of the eight-month suspended sentence for the vandalism matters.
Sentence had been deferred for six months on October 16 last year so that Scott could prove that he could keep out of trouble and for him to receive help from an agency. He had been told that he would not be locked up if he complied with the court order.
At a resumed hearing, Michael Masson, mitigating, said that Scott had not committed any further offences and he was attending for appointments with the agency.
“It’s his birthday today,” said Mr Masson. Scott had not yet managed to find a job but he was continuing to go to courses to help him with this.
Judge Alexander Menary told Scott that sentence had been deferred for him to show that he could “start to turn a corner” and comply with professional help. “You kept your part of the deal and I will keep mine,” said Judge Menary.
Scott was given 150 hours’ unpaid work and 16 days’ rehabilitation. Judge Menary warned Scott that he could still be jailed if he breached the order by “swinging the lead and taking the mickey” in the coming months.
“You have got to work quite hard to stay out of trouble – but don’t come back,” said Judge Menary.
At the hearing in December 2024, the court heard that the first criminal damage offence happened at a house in Anlaby Park Road South in the early hours of the morning after Scott and his mother had been arguing.
He threw items at a window belonging to a woman who lived next door, causing damage. The first offence of damaging a car was discovered after the owner heard shouting and, the next morning, found that the windscreen of her car parked in Grimston Road, Anlaby, had been smashed.
Another car owner, in Wolfreton Road, Anlaby, woke up in the morning to find the windscreen cracked, the court heard. The owner was alerted by a neighbour that the windscreen was damaged.
The third car damaged, also in Wolfreton Road, was owned by the daughter of the previous victim. She was alerted by her father that her car had been damaged. The owner of the fourth car, in Grimston Road, woke up to find damage to the windscreen.
The fifth car owner was the boyfriend of the woman whose window was damaged. He was alerted about the arguing and, when he went to leave for work the next morning, he found that a windscreen wiper had been bent back and cement had been thrown at the passenger window.
There was damage to the paintwork in the bonnet area. The attempted burglary happened at The Ridings, off Willerby Road, where a man, who lived there with his daughter, heard noises in the early hours that sounded like metal breaking, the court heard.
He heard voices and the sound of items cracking. He alerted the police. It was discovered that a garden hoe had been taken from a shed and broken into pieces.
A garden fork was used to to force open a kitchen window. The occupier arranged to change all the locks for added security, the court heard.
Scott was, that day, given an eight-month suspended prison sentence and he was ordered to pay £700 compensation – £100 to each victim.
