Heysham man banned from Lancaster city centre after four assaults

Stephen Williams

A man has been banned from Lancaster city centre after he committed four assaults over the Christmas period.

Stephen Williams was given a Community Behaviour Order by a court banning him for two years.

Williams, 41, punched a man in his 20s following a verbal altercation outside the Greens pub, North Road on Saturday December 27. The man suffered a black eye and a scratch on his face.

Then on the morning of Monday December 29, he shouted abuse at a woman working in Greggs, on Cheapside, before re-entering the store and pushing her.

Later that day when a police officer and a police community support officer saw Wiliams in Market Street, they went to arrest him for the assault in Greggs.

When the officer took hold of Williams, he dragged her against a shop window and caused her to fall over. He then lunged towards the PCSO and pushed him in the chest.

Williams was then arrested by the officer.

At Preston Magistrates Court on December 30, Williams, of Heysham Road, Heysham, pleaded guilty to two offences of assault by beating of an emergency worker and two offences of assault by beating.

He was jailed for 24 weeks, ordered to pay a surcharge of £154 and given the two-year Community Behaviour Order which bans him from Lancaster city centre
