Walsall's recent match against Shrewsbury Town has resulted in several fan arrests, with Duane Donovan failing to attend Shrewsbury Magistrates Court on a public order charge. The court issued a warrant without bail for his arrest. James Peter Arnold, a 20-year-old from Walsall, was found guilty of smashing a window and damaging the frame of a window at the Raven Pub in Wellington. He was given a conditional discharge for 18 months and ordered to pay £250 compensation for damage to the window, along with £100 in costs. Magistrates are to decide next month on whether to impose a banning order on Arnold. The incident occurred on October 14, with 15 people arrested and 3 police officers injured. Richard Davies, a 46-year-old Town fan, appeared at Shrewsbury Magistrates Court to plead not guilty to a public order offence. He will now stand trial on the charge on January 21 and 22. Ten of the other people detained by police are currently on police bail. The trouble marred the clash between Shrewsbury Town and Walsall, with incidents taking place in the town centre and inside the ground. Chris Burn and Jon Pritchard reported on the incident. The case is ongoing, with magistrates set to make a decision on Arnold's banning order next month. Walsall's fans have been advised to behave responsibly at future matches. The club's management has not commented on the incident. The police are still investigating the incidents and are urging anyone with information to come forward. The safety of fans and players is a top priority for the club and the authorities.
