TikTok Influencer HSTikkyTokky Spared Full Repayment of Police Jet Costs After Court Absence

Judge Julie Cooper ruled the £16,000 private jet was unnecessary and cut the repayment to £8,050, citing lack of satisfactory explanation from the police.

  • On Thursday at Staines Magistrates' Court, Judge Cooper ruled that TikTok influencer HSTikkyTokky will not have to repay the full 15,000 cost of a police‑chartered jet from Spain.
  • Following his failure to appear for 12 months, Sullivan traveled to Dubai, Thailand, and Spain before being detained in Spain in August last year, after crashing his McLaren in Surrey in March 2024.
  • The court ordered Sullivan to pay £9,270 in prosecution costs and £8,050.27 in police costs, totaling £17,320.27, and gave him a one‑year suspended custodial sentence in November last year with an electronic tag for three months plus 300 hours of unpaid work.
  • Citing proportionality, the judge said full repayment was `not necessary or proportionate` after the NEU risk assessment, funded by Surrey Police with 15990, was undisclosed.
  • Amid debate over proportionality, Harrison Sullivan is a high-profile influencer set to appear in a Louis Theroux documentary for Netflix, while Prosecutor Kane Alexander cited public recognition risks on commercial flights and Defence solicitor Shalin Sood highlighted his daily livestreaming evidence and compliance in custody.
