A 25-year-old man who repeatedly breached court orders for anti-social behaviour has been handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).
The new order restricts Sain Jadama, of Henbury, from entering Castle Park and, if breached, could result in him being handed a prison sentence.
After pleading guilty to the offences, Jadama was sentenced for three breaches of a Community Protection Notice and possession of a class B drug when he appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 18 December.
He was arrested by neighbourhood officers working to tackle issues of anti-social behaviour and crime in the park.
PC Max Sims said: “Castle Park is a key priority for our neighbourhood team and we’re working closely with our partner organisations to ensure it remains a safe place for people to visit.
“Anti-social behaviour is not tolerated in our city and officers are committed to identifying those responsible and dealing with any criminal offences we identify.”
