A DRUNKEN potty-mouthed pest who repeatedly begs for money will be banned from McDonald's in Worcester - once he gets out of jail.

Paul Riley, aged 37, of Worcester has been made subject to a criminal behaviour order (CBO) after a number of convictions for public disorder.

The CBO application was made on the back of a conviction for assault on a member of the public, criminal damage by smashing a bottle of alcohol belonging to ASDA and begging, all committed on January 23 this year in Worcester city centre.

He was in court on Friday for the CBO and also sentencing for a number of matters; public disorder in Foregate Street, criminal damage to a police van, begging in Foregate Street, another public disorder in Castle Street, Worcester and drunk and disorderly at Foregate Street Train Station. He was sentenced to a total of six weeks in prison and fined £100.

The CBO, granted for two years, prohibits from: sitting, loitering or positioning himself in order to beg or approaching people in the street and asking for money; shouting, swearing or acting in any manner that is likely to cause others in the vicinity alarm, upset or fear; refusing to leave a premises or area forming part of the premises when asked by someone who has authority to do so.

He is also banned from urinating anywhere in a public place in the area of Worcester city centre as defined by a map provided to him, save for public toilets; from entering McDonalds, The Foregate, Worcester; from deliberately throwing objects or liquid at any people or property; consuming alcohol, or be in possession of an open vessel of alcohol, in any designated area where this is prohibited.

Further to this he is also required to attend an appointment with Cranstoun (alcohol and drug support agency) based at Castle House, Castle Street, Worcester for an assessment to be made with regards to substance misuse. The appointment will be made by Cranstoun on receipt of a referral to them made on the granting of this order.

Riley must continue to engage with, and accept assistance from Housing Solutions Officers from the Local Area Authority until such time as that organisation deems that he no longer require assistance.
