A man has been accused of causing thousands of pounds of damage to the Norwich War Memorial.
Baron Kelly is also charged with outraging public decency by destroying wreaths laid as part of a Battle of Britain remembrance event.
The 64-year-old, of no fixed abode, failed to appear at a hearing at Norwich Magistrates’ Court.
His arrest is being sought to set a date for his trial.
He faces three charges including causing criminal damage of over £5,000 to the war memorial and stamping on wreaths on September 11 and a separate charge of using threatening and abusive language.

The wreaths had been laid two days earlier in tribute to the Royal Air Force pilots whose heroics are often regarded as an early turning point in the Second World War.
Nearly 3,000 RAF personnel, known as "the Few", participated in the Battle of Britain in September 1940.
The event was attended by dignitaries including the president of the Royal Air Force Association Stuart Colbourne, the Lord Mayor and Sheriff of Norwich Sirajul Islam and representatives from RAF Marham.
