Keith Edwards, an 81-year-old man, is noted as potentially the oldest individual arrested following the August protests in Nottingham, where rival groups clashed.
Edwards pleaded not guilty to threatening behavior, asserting his lack of involvement in the protest and that he only intervened upon witnessing an arrest.
His defense emphasized his concern for a chaotic situation, particularly because his nephew was injured while serving as a police officer during the unrest.
The violent protests across England led to police making 1,380 arrests and bringing together 863 charges with the Crown Prosecution Service in response.
