Two men have been jailed for 18 weeks for an assault on a member of staff at a Chesterfield bar last month.
Police were called to Gasoline, in Salter Gate, just after 4:30pm on February 22 after the attack, during which a body cam was also stolen.
The two suspects, 37 year old Sean Sissons of Springbank Road and 38 year old Stephen Donaldson of Clarence Road, were arrested a short time afterwards.
Sissons was already known to police for prolific anti social behaviour.
The pair were both charged with assault and theft. Both were jailed at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court.
Sergeant Josh Carter said:
“During the last six months we have seen a significant reduction in anti-social behaviour in Chesterfield and, alongside partner agencies, have secured a number of civil injunctions and Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) against repeat offenders.
“There is still work to be done to tackle ongoing issues and we continue to work closely with partners to remedy these, but this process is well underway.
“This sentencing is another example of that work, and we are pleased that Sissons, who has caused a repeated nuisance in the town centre for some time, has now been made subject of a CBO.
“He has previously been subject to a community protection warning, a community protection notice, and civil injunction but has continued to reoffend which means we have now been successful in securing a CBO.
“If Sissons does breach the order, he could face a further prison term.
“We are committed to remaining visible in our communities and very much rely on the public reporting incidents and breaches of civil injunction and CBOs to us, so that we can act to ensure the most persistent offenders are dealt with.”
