Keith Silk, 33, of Torrington Drive, was arrested on Saturday (July 19) on suspicion of violent disorder and criminal damage.
He has now been charged with one count of violent disorder and one count of criminal damage.
It follows protests surrounding The Bell Hotel, over immigration and the use of the place.
These protests occurred after 38-year-old asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was charged with sexual assault following an incident where he is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl.
Kebatu denied the charge when he appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (July 17)
Eight police officers were injured following what started as a peaceful protest outside on Thursday evening.
Silk has been remanded into custody and will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court tomorrow morning (July 21).
