A HABITUAL flouter of restraining orders, who shouted in court ‘I don’t think I will comply with the orders’, has been caged for a year.

Paul Anderson, aged 39, formerly of Warrington but was living in London, appeared at Warrington Crown Court on Tuesday after breaching a restraining order banning him to contact his mum.

The court heard a raft of restraining orders protecting his mum and ex-partner had been imposed on Anderson since July 2007, all of which he had breached.

Richard Sealy, prosecuting, said the latest floutings happened within hours of each other, the day after he was released from a seven-day prison sentence for breaching an order preventing him from approaching his mum or Watkin Street where she lives.

Mr Sealy said Anderson would be calm at first but would become angry and agitated.

Nova Howarth, prosecuting, said he has been suffering from drug-induced psychosis.

She added: “It is obviously a very sad case that there is a restraining order in place against his mother.”

Judge Nicholas Woodward jailed Anderson for 12 months telling him to expect longer and longer sentences up to a maximum of five years if he continues to breach orders.

He said: “You have quite an appalling history of recognising your obligation to keep away from people when the court directs.

“In respect of your mother you have four breaches and received various sentences from seven days to three months and in respect of your ex-partner you have been dealt with by custodial sentence.

“The time has come for you to recognise the court wil make orders that will be effectove against you to keep you away from people.”
