Homeless man's solicitor admits 'unusual' request as he asks for client to be jailed
A homeless man's solicitor asked magistrates to jail his client after he breached a criminal behaviour order.
Neil Ashton, mitigating for Scott Mills, admitted he was in the unusual position of requesting the defendant be locked up during a hearing at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Saturday.
Mills, 51, was arrested at his mum's home in Whitchurch at around 5.15pm the previous day, breaching a 12-month behaviour order issued by Shrewsbury Crown Court in April which banned him from entering the north Shropshire town.
Miss Virinder Bains, prosecuting, told the court that when officers attended, the defendant said he had been there for five days.
