Aaron Barrett, 29, of North Road, Brighton, appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Monday (12 October) after being arrested following the incident on Sunday afternoon (11 October).
Barrett refused to leave the front office of the police station after becoming aggressive with staff. He then climbed onto the atrium roof and threw tiles and plasterboard at police officers who were trying to persuade him to come down. The front office was closed to the public while the incident was ongoing and after three hours he subsequently surrendered to police and was arrested.
