Three years without matches for Ide man
A 23-year-old football hooligan has been issued with a Civil Football Banning Order by Exeter magistrates. As well as the three year ban, Jason Commins is to pay £400 to Devon and Cornwall Police.
This banning order will prevent Mr Commins from attending regulated football matches in England and Wales, as well as preventing him from travelling abroad to watch the England national football team. Scotland appears to be his only hope.
The evidence provided by Police consisted of his part in disorder or attempted disorder on 9 separate occasions. The latest being at Swindon Town as an Exeter fan in August 2017.
Superintendent Matt Lawler said: “Devon and Cornwall Police make use of football banning orders to ensure that regulated football matches in Devon and Cornwall, as well as other parts of the country are safe and enjoyable for all supporters who want to enjoy football.
“We will continue to seek these banning orders on those who cause or contribute to violence and disorder connected to football matches.
“I wish to thank the Force Football Unit for their hard work in this case, and their continual efforts in ensuring that football is a safe and enjoyable experience in Devon and Cornwall.”
