Man sentenced for breaching ASBO

A man who breached an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) In Watford has been sentenced to 46 weeks in prison. Timothy Hart, 34, of Longcroft Road, Maple Cross, was given the two year ASBO in December 2014 to prevent him from begging in Watford town centre following a series of abusive incidents at cash machines and indecent acts including defecating in public. The order prevented Hart from encamping in any public place in the borough of Watford, seeking or accepting monies from any member of the public by begging, in England and Wales, entering Watford town centre, save for appointments for medical assistance or pre-arranged probation appointments, including pre-arranged solicitors appointments, obstructing Watford Borough Council officers in the execution of their duties and displaying open wounds, spitting, urinating or defecating in public, in England and Wales.
