A LOUT is back behind bars after flouting an order to stay out of the city centre.

Ryan Breach was given a Criminal Behaviour Order for his crimes in Brighton.

The order banned the 31-year-old from entering an area in the city centre.

But Breach broke the order repeatedly and was spotted in Queens Road.

At Brighton Magistrates’ Court it was revealed he had also failed to attend appointments with the probation service or tell them about his address.

Breach had shown a “wilful and persistent” disregard for court orders with “continuous breaches”, the court heard.

He had been “non-compliant” with orders designed to curb his antisocial behaviour.

Breach appeared in court on January 12, with magistrates sending him back to prison for 12 weeks.

In April 2019 Breach, of no fixed address but previously of Marine Parade, Worthing, popped out of court for a “cigarette” break, and moments later was left unable to even stand up.

A court guard said: “He has been extremely aggressive and threatening. I think he has taken some sort of substance.

“We tried to carry him down the front stairs, he isn’t capable of walking.

“I think he has taken something while being inside here.

“He has been taken somewhere else. We won’t let him into the building.”

He told his defence solicitor Mark Rogers he was going to take a cigarette break.

Mr Rogers told the court that it was “a long cigarette break”.

When it was revealed that his client was not able to stand up, Mr Rogers said he was not aware of any alcohol problems with Breach, and said his client could be “a bit gobby”.
