A man from South Milford, who's accused of a public order offence after a bottle was thrown at the start of the men's Olympic 100m final, has pleaded not guilty in court.
34 year old Ashley Gill-Webb, of Cornmill Court, has been charged with intentionally causing harassment, alarm or distress under the Public Order Act.
He denied the offence when he appeared in the dock yesterday afternoon (Monday 6th August 2012) at Stratford Magistrates’ Court in east London.
Gill-Webb's been granted conditional bail and told he will face trial at Thames Magistrates' Court on September 3rd 2012.
