Anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas, also known as Danny Tommo, has been charged with criminal damage and failing to disclose a phone PIN in connection with an incident in the English Channel where he was seen slashing at a dinghy with a knife.
Hampshire Police confirmed the charges against the 37-year-old. Thomas has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court on Friday morning.
On Thursday evening, several hundred supporters gathered outside a police investigation center in Basingstoke, believing Thomas was being held inside. Many wore black and chanted "free DT," arriving shortly before 6:30 p.m. BST and standing on the road outside the building.
