A MAN jailed for a crime spree a month ago has been back before magistrates.
Justin Wynn's case was delayed as Worcester Magistrates Court waited for him to be produced on the videolink from HMP Hewell prison on Thursday (May 11).
When he appeared he told magistrates "I didn't know I was in court, I've just got out of the shower."
After the 44-year-old said he didn't know what the case was for, Wynn was told he was facing five offences of using threatening/abusive words/behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Mark Hambling, prosecuting, told the court that on November 10, November 15, November 22, December 6 and December 22 last year, Wynn had been arguing with Victoria Biddle in Sansome Place in front of members of the public.
The prosecutor said the pair had been shouting at each other with swear words used which distressed a complainant who heard the pair.
Wynn, who at times sat with arms crossed and with his feet on the desk, pleaded guilty to all the offences.
Wynn, who defended himself, was asked if there was anything he wanted to say about the offence.
"No, I can't remember that", the defendant said.
Wynn told the magistrates he was currently serving a six-month prison sentence, adding "Can't you send me to rehab or something".
We reported last month that Wynn received the jail sentence for a crime spree which included thefts, assaults, and criminal damage in which he set off a fire extinguisher in Mother Hubbard's Fish and Chip shop.

Megan Harrison, chairman of the magistrates bench, told Wynn as the offences were non-imprisonable they have decided to give him a six-month conditional discharge.

The chairman explained to Wynn it meant if he stayed out of trouble and did not commit another offence during the period, he would not be punished for the offences.
Wynn was also ordered to pay a £26 victim surcharge which the chairman said Wynn would owe when he left prison.
At the end of the hearing, Wynn asked if there were any more court cases he needed to attend, the chairman replying "I hope not."
