James McNeilly is jailed again after a third court appearance in 18 months, according to reports. The articles say the case involves McNeilly and allegations connected to an incident where an officer in a patrol car attempted to stop him. The Daily Mail reports that McNeilly tells the court he is suing police after he was knocked off his bicycle when the patrol car struck him while trying to stop him. The reports also describe McNeilly as having a long criminal record spanning about 25 years, including offences such as violent robberies and defrauding a blind man. The sources do not provide details of the specific charges that led to the latest sentencing or the outcomes of any civil action, but they characterize the current proceedings as the third time McNeilly returns to court within 18 months for sentencing. The reporting presents the police-contact claim as something McNeilly raises in court alongside the sentencing process.
