Threats Made in 2013
Parkes was wanted for making threatening phone calls to two individuals in Folkestone back in 2013. He was charged but skipped court in July 2015, vanishing before his day in court at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court.

On Friday 9 October 2020, Parkes was extradited from Spain to the UK. The very next day, he faced Folkestone Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody. His next hearing is set for Monday 9 November 2020 at Canterbury Crown Court.
