REPEAT offender Scott King has been jailed for three months after breaching his Anti-Social Behaviour Order for the fifth time.

The 33-year old, who was kicked out of his home in Eastleigh Road, Devizes by his mother, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and breaching the ASBO. King made legal history when he became the first person in Wiltshire to be subject to an interim post-conviction Anti-Social Behaviour Order in August 2003.

The ASBO banned King from being drunk within the Kennet and Devizes no drinking bylaw zone, and from consuming alcohol in a public place in the Kennet District Council area.

He is also banned from entering

licensed premises in the Kennet area and supermarket alcohol aisles.

But on May 3 this year King and a friend were ordered to get off a bus at Steeple Ashton by the driver.

Prosecutor Nicola Jennings told Chippenham magistrates last Thursday that King became abusive to a

police officer after being ejected from the bus and was arrested for being drunk in a public place.

PC Suter saw a bus in the High Street and when he went over, King started swearing at him.

"He smelt alcohol on King's breath and told him to stop swearing because there was a lot of school children about," Ms Jennings said.

PC Suter got back in his car but the two men continued to shout abuse at him. King was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in a public place and had to be taken to the ground when handcuffed.

Ms Jennings said King had already been in court for breaching his ASBO four times.

Defence solicitor David Harris said King realised he would be breaching his order so he had travelled to Trowbridge to drink there. He said: "His friend became rowdy and the bus driver had to stop and eject them."

He said King, who had drunk two bottles of sherry and some lager does not have a drinking problem, but it affects his behaviour when he does drink. He had already been in custody for eight days and magistrates said that would count as time served. No order of costs was imposed.
