The 67-year-old then went on to ram the duty manager Kimberley Taynor with a trolley, kick the security guard and arresting police officer. 31-year-old Ms Taynor told the court that he threw three blocks of the soft cheese at her.

Mr Conche did not go to his trail and the case was heard March in his absence. However on Monday (4 April) Conche failed to turn up for his sentencing and an arrest warrant has been issued.
