ASBO's dont work

15/02/07 - 0 comments
Exeter Crown Court heard yesterday that a man banned from drinking in any public house in the country breached his ASBO by drinking in the Jolly Porter.

The 32-year-old of 'no fixed address' has certainly proved consistent, as he has over 125 previous convictions and was found downing a double whiskey in the Duke of York the day after being released from prison for an earlier offence.

On this occasion however, the plucky fellow had caused a bit of a commotion in the Jolly Porter by making unwelcome advances to a woman who offered to buy him a drink before spraying the live band with the booze.

This was after he was released on bail for drinking wine outside of Tesco Metro and threatening to kick a copper in the head. Well, we've all been there.

It seems clear that the ASBO has had no affect on his behaviour other than allowing the boys in blue to cart him off to a cell quick smart when he gets out of hand.

You would have thought getting him into some kind of program would be a better idea rather than just letting him out the next morning for another session, but who are we to say.

He was due to be carted off to Wales to live with his brother but that fell through. He's reported to have said "I bloody hate that bastard..." before vomiting on a Policeman's shoes.

As the defendant is not a paedophile he will probably be sentenced to an even longer stay in prison this time, getting him out of our hair for a bit at least. Expect a pissed up booze cruise as soon as he's back out however.
