Man given anti-social behaviour order in Matson
He was repeatedly drunk on the streets, engaged in fights and intimidated the public.
A man's been given an Anti-Social Behaviour Injunction for being repeatedly drunk on the streets, engaged in fights and intimidated the public in Matson.
44 year-old Ashley Markey, of Matson, was served with the injunction last month - following several incidents outside shops in the town.
The order runs until 21 June 2024
The case was brought against Markey by Solace, a joint team of officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary, Cheltenham Borough Council and Gloucester City Council.
Solace officer Matt Roberts said: "Markey has been a source of disruption in Matson for some time. He thought nothing of threatening shop staff when they challenged his shoplifting, and has engaged in violent behaviour on multiple occasions.
"This injunction is an effort to curtail this conduct, and an attempt at encouraging the community to feel safe to use the shops and other facilities available locally."
Sergeant Tom Francis, of Gloucester Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "This latest injunction is another example that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
"We are committed to working alongside the local community, its residents and partner agencies to combat levels of behaviour that cause misery to the public or prohibit the use of public spaces through fear or intimidation.
"We will continue to seek to pursue and prosecute those responsible and I hope that this order and others like it are a clear demonstration of that."
