“The 32-year-old of Corby is wanted in connection with an incident in Bridge Street, Rothwell, yesterday (February 7) in which a police officer was assaulted. “Thankfully no serious injuries were sustained.”

He is also wanted on warrant after failing to appear before Northampton Crown Court on January 9, 2023, after being charged in connection with an affray in May 2021.

Anyone who sees Stocker, or has information about his whereabouts, should call Northamptonshire Police on 101.
