A HOMELESS man has been jailed for behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress in Hereford.
Joshua Newbury used behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress on April 14, according to prosecutor Lauren Millichip.
He was represented at the hearing by Belinda Ariss.
31-year-old Newbury, who has no fixed abode, was given a 16-week sentence of imprisonment for the incident after he pleaded guilty before Kidderminster magistrates on April 15.

By committing the offence, Newbury broke a criminal behaviour order which was made by Worcester magistrates on April 14, 2022. He had been banned from behaving in any way likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress without a reasonable excuse.
He was said to have a “flagrant disregard for court orders”, with magistrates saying this meant only a custodial sentence could be justified. It was also said that the offence was "so serious only a custodial sentence could be justified".
He must also pay £185 in prosecution costs.
