The prohibited assembly charge doing all the work while eleven others got assault and affray is the whole prosecutorial sorting. You don't lead with the compliance count unless the evidence ladder already decided crowd control violation photographs better than the flares did, which just means the named defendant is the one whose presence proved paperwork not the one whose hands proved flame.
Jamie Bennett has been charged with failing to comply with a prohibited assembly direction. The 38-year-old, of Thyme Avenue in Whiteley, Fareham, has been bailed to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on 26 November.
