A 63-year-old man has been jailed for breaching the terms of his anti-social behavior order after he launched into an abusive rant.

David Bickers was sentenced to 18 weeks behind bars at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court yesterday despite pleading not guilty.

Bickers, of Clifton Road, Loughton, shouted and swore in public on May 8, despite already being the subject of an Asbo.
