A man handed a five-year ban from Carlisle Railway Station earlier this month has been jailed after breaching it just seven days later.
Andrew Bell, 48, of no fixed address, was jailed for 20 weeks on Friday May 16 after he appeared at Carlisle Magistrates Court.
Bell was given the five-year order on May 8.
He breached the order on May 15, after he was found at the railway station by an officer.
He was unable to provide a valid ticket to show he was leaving the station within an hour and he was not buying a ticket.
Bell admitted he had been at the railway station all day.
The conditions of his criminal behaviour order are:
- Not to enter the city centre of Carlisle unless whilst in transit on public transport or attending Carlisle Railway Station in possession of a valid train ticket or immediately purchasing a valid train ticket and in any case to board the train in one hour. He must leave immediately once disembarking a train arriving at Carlisle Railway Station.
- Not attend Cumberland Infirmary, Newtown Road, Carlisle other than for a prearranged medical appointment or for treatment following an accident or emergency.
Community Beat Officer Andrew Beal, of Carlisle Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Bell was aware of the conditions of his criminal behaviour order and had disregard for the order by being in the station.
“This sentence demonstrates the effectiveness of criminal behaviour orders and those engaging in anti-social behaviour and breaching their orders will be arrested and put before the courts.
“We would encourage members of the public to contact us if someone with a criminal behaviour order breaches their terms.
“We also ask for anyone who has information about anti-social behaviour and criminality to contact us.”
