Richard David Williams, 34, of Ewloe, Flintshire appeared before Mold Magistrates Court last week (Friday, August 9th) charged with malicious communications.
This followed the posting of material on a social media site, and was connected with the ongoing national tensions, where Williams encouraged others to engage in riots.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison.
Speaking after sentencing, Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman KPM said: “This serves as a timely reminder that North Wales Police takes any allegation of criminality, whether committed online or in person, extremely seriously.
“Those who post online in a criminally irresponsible way must realise they will be located, swiftly investigated, and placed before the court.”
