COURT LISTINGS: Newark man given suspended sentence at Nottingham Magistrates' Court and assault on policeman leads to 16-week jail sentence

A MAN who went to an address and knocked at the door at all times of the day and night asking for money received a suspended jail sentence after admitting harassment.

Nathan Webb, 28, of Cross Street, Newark, was sentenced to eight weeks in custody, suspended for a year at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.

Magistrates were told his offending was born from using others to fund a drug habit.

He was charged with harassing two women at the same address, and rang them as well as attending the address.

The court imposed a restraining order meaning he cannot contact either woman, directly or indirectly on social media, for a year, save through one named individual.

Webb must pay £213 costs.

A MAN who assaulted a policeman was jailed for 16 weeks at the same court.

Joseph Davis had been found to be in possession of cannabis when he assaulted the officer in the street in Nottingham.

The 28-year-old, from Coneygrey Spinney, Flintham, must pay the officer £100 in compensation.

He also admitted failing to attend court after being released on police bail.

Davis also admitted failing to adhere to supervision requirements following his earlier release from imprisonment and was fined £100.

A WOMAN caught in possession of four types of drugs on a Nottingham street was jailed by Nottingham magistrates.

Roseanne Loveridge, of Seven Hills, Newark, admitted possession of mamba, cannabis, pregabalin and subutex.

She also admitted failing to attend court for an earlier hearing.

Loveridge was jailed for a total of ten weeks. The offences were committed while she was on post-sentence supervision for other matters.

Loveridge was also fined £100 for breaching supervision requirements by failing to attend appointments. She was detained at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court for the day in lieu of payment.

A THIEF from Pleasley who stole from Morrison’s at Newark on six occasions was jailed for 20 weeks.

Nineteen-year-old Jake Hobson, of Chesterfield Road North, took Corona beer, sherry, Desperado lager, crates of Stella and Budweiser, two more crates of lager, and, on the final occasion, three crates of lager from the store.

All of the offences were admitted, as was a charge of possession of cannabis.
