Callum David Williams had the community order revoked by Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Monday and was re sentenced for several offences.

Williams admitted that he had failed to comply with the requirements of a community order made on February 1 2023 by failing to attend appointments with probation officers on February 29 and March 7.

Magistrates were told the details of the original offences. Williams had breached a restraining order on him by being in direct contact with a person in Regent Street, Wellington, on June 13, 2022.

He was re sentenced to that offence and jailed for two weeks. He received a number of other jail sentences to run consecutively.

Magistrates said that the offence was so serious because the defendant has a flagrant disregard for court orders.

He was also jailed for two more weeks for each offence of being at the property in Regent Street on November 4, 2022, November 8, 2022.

Williams was jailed for another consecutive sentence of six weeks for the racially aggravated harassment of a person on November 11, 2022.

Another two week consecutive prison sentence was handed down to Williams for contacting a woman on November 25, 2022 when he was banned under a restraining order imposed by magistrates in Shropshire on January 29, 2021.

He was handed no separate penalty for sending a message on a public electronic communications network on November 10, 2022 that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.
