«Breaking News» Ex-London's Burning star John Alford arrives at court accused of assaulting two police officers

John Alford arrives at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in North London for his sentencing today

Former London's Burning actor John Alford was handed a community order today after resisting arrest while yelling at police officers.

The 47-year-old rose to fame on Grange Hill but his career was left in tatters when he was convicted of supplying cocaine to now-discredited journalist Mazher Mahmood, known as the 'Fake Sheikh'. 

Alford developed a 'siege mentality' because of the case and struggled with officers who tried to arrest him after he smashed a refuse lorry's windscreen with a bin, Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court heard.

Alford, of Holloway, north London, was ordered to serve a 12-month community order after he admitted two counts of resisting an officer.

The court heard he drunkenly shattered the windscreen after taking a seat at the vehicle's wheel at about 7.15am on September 1 in York Way, not far from the ex-actor's home.

Officers were called and Pc Darren Baker and Pc Miranda Narcin attempted to arrest him but he resisted.

The judge was played one officer's bodycam footage that showed the struggle with Alford, who claimed he was trying to stop the lorry rolling backwards.

Police strapped his legs together and he was heard shouting that he was 'fighting corrupt police officers'.

'In cahoots with News of the World,' he shouted. 'In cahoots with Mazher Mahmood.'

The court also heard him yell: 'Did Rupert Murdoch (former News of the World proprietor) send you here to kill me?'

In mitigation for Alford, Geoff Payne said the 'significant entrapment' at the hands of Mahmood created a 'siege mentality' for his client, giving him a problem with authority.

'It's something that unfortunately he's never managed to put behind him, never managed to come to terms with,' Mr Payne added.

Judge Gillian Allison ordered Alford to complete a 25-day rehabilitative activity, pay £400 compensation and serve a 14-day curfew on an electronic tag between 8pm and 6am.

But she agreed that the curfew could begin a day later than she initially intended so Alford could take his two children to an Arsenal match as a 'Christmas treat'.

Alford previously admitted criminal damage with regard to the windscreen, with a repair bill estimated at £300.

His career was largely destroyed when he was jailed for nine months in 1999 after being convicted of supplying cocaine to Mahmood, the News of the World's 'King of the Sting'.

Mahmood was jailed for 15 months in 2016 for tampering with evidence in the collapsed drugs trial of pop star Tulisa Contostavlos.

Alford's drugs case was referred to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, but a spokesman for the commission said the matter was closed in December without being recommended for an appeal.

John Alford arrives at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court in North London for his sentencing today

Former London’s Burning actor John Alford was handed a community order today after resisting arrest while yelling at police officers.
The 47-year-old rose to fame on Grange Hill ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
