A MAN has been jailed for breaching a suspended jail term he was given almost exactly a year ago to the day.
Alexander Humphreys, 33, was originally sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court on February 19 last year. He had admitted doing an act tending or intended to pervert the course of public justice after deceiving police and pretending to be his brother while being investigated for drink-driving.
Humphreys was handed a suspended prison term, and ordered to complete a night-time curfew and rehabilitation activity requirement (RAR) days.
Initially he complied “extremely well” with the probation service, finishing the curfew and tackling more than half of the RAR days he had been told to do.
But Humphreys had admitted he went on to breach the order, disengaging from the probation service completely after moving to Scotland.
At the crown court today (WED), Humphreys, of Ehen Road, Egremont, was jailed as two months of the suspended four-month sentence was activated.
Passing sentence, Judge Nicholas Barker told him: “You have nobody and nothing to blame but yourself for your own stupidity.”
