A MAN has been jailed for three and a half months after committing an offence on the same day that he was issued with a suspended sentence.

Steven Andrew John Brick, aged 31 and of no fixed abode, appeared before Poole Magistrates' Court on Friday, April 17, and admitted using threatening or abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards Stephen Penney the previous day.

District judge Stephen Nicholls committed Brick to prison for eight weeks consecutive to a suspended sentence of six weeks imprisonment that was issued on April 16.

This length of jail time was issued due to the seriousness of committing an offence immediately after the initial punishment.

The suspended sentence that was imposed by judge Nicholls related to another offence of using threatening or abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards people in Weymouth on April 14.

Alongside an overall sentence behind bars of 14 weeks, Brick was ordered to pay a £128 surcharge.
