An online prankster who invaded the pitch during a football match in Dublin has been banned from attending all national and international games for five years.<\/p>\n
Daniel Jarvis, 37, from Gravesend in Kent, ran on to the pitch at the start of the match between Ireland and England at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on 7 September. <\/p>\n
Mr Jarvis was given the banning order at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. He must also surrender his passport during international tournaments.<\/p>\n
Chief Constable Mark Roberts, National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for football policing, said: “Jarvis is clearly an attention seeker who carried out the pitch invasion in order to get some more hits on his social media.<\/p>\n
“His actions were not only childish and irresponsible, but also a total waste of police time and taxpayers’ money.<\/p>\n
“In addition, these stunts divert security staff from their duties and it is difficult to instantly ascertain if someone poses a threat or is just seeking attention.<\/p>\n
“I welcome the five-year banning order that has been handed to him, which will hopefully give him some time to grow up and start to act responsibly.”<\/p>\n
Simon Jones, Crown Prosecution Service Wessex and national football lead, said the banning order showed “the consequences of criminal actions at matches”.<\/p>\n
“Daniel Jarvis used his notoriety and platform for repeated illegal behaviour,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The Crown Prosecution Service continues to work closely with policing colleagues to prosecute those who are responsible for criminality in sport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An online prankster who invaded the pitch during a football match in Dublin has been banned from attending…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-269670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
