28th August 2016 Another case dropped   

Another case against an Atherstone Hunt supporter is dropped with no reason given. Atherstone Hunt rider Luke Miller-Bates was filmed assaulting a sab by grabbing her from behind and pulling to to the ground (as can be seen at the end of this video). Miller-Bates happens to be good friends with PC Rob Cross’s wife Louise Cross. During the investigation the investigating officer claimed they couldn’t locate Miller-Bates and didn’t have his details. We can only assume that PC Cross chose to keep quite about his links to Miller-Bates and the fact that he may have been able to provide relevant details to the investigating officer. In the end sabs had to provide the investigating officer with Miller-Bates details.

A formal complaint has now been made to Leicestershire Police Professional Standards about PC Cross’s conduct and the apparent conflict of interest caused by his links to the Atherstone Hunt
