An alcoholic banned from every pub in High Wycombe has been jailed after breaching a court order just over a week after being given it.

Mpumelelo Khumalo was caught in the town centre "visibly under the influence of alcohol" on June 2 - something he was forbidden from being by a Criminal Behaviour Order handed to him by Wycombe magistrates on May 26, eight days previously.

The 32-year-old, of Needham Court, was again spotted intoxicated in public on June 3 and 6.

He further breached the criminal behaviour order by being visibly drunk in the town centre on June 15, and he was spotted in Butlers and the William Robert Loosely pubs the same day.

Khumalo also assaulted a police constable in the execution of their duty on May 17 - thereby committing an offence during the operational period of a suspended sentence.

Khumalo pleaded guilty to the offences when he appeared at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on June 18 and was jailed for a total of eight weeks.

He also admitted charges of criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly in public, for which he received no additional penalty.

He was given the Criminal Behaviour after police said he "badgered people to the point of annoying them" by asking for cigarettes and alcohol.

The order barred him from drinking alcohol in any public place in Wycombe, being visibly under the influence of alcohol, or being in possession of unsealed containers of alcohol in a public place.
