AN ALCOHOLIC who has breached her anti-social behaviour order more than 30 times has been jailed again, just six days after being released from her last sentence.

Deborah Morris, 52, who is homeless, has been subject to the Asbo since November 2014 after her alcohol-fuelled disturbances became too much for neighbours and nearby residents to cope with.

As part of the order, she was made subject to a number of conditions including not being drunk in a public place, not entering Swindon town centre and not entering the Nythe area.

On Monday, Morris appeared before magistrates in Swindon and pleaded guilty to breaching the latter condition – it was her 32nd breach of the same order.

Keith Ballinger, prosecuting, told the court that the police had been called to Lytchett Way, Nythe, following reports that a woman was drunk, shouting and kicking cars.

“Officers arrived and spoke to neighbours who said the defendant was in a back garden,” he said.

“She was found laid on the grass in a foetal position, the officer notices straight away that her voice is slurred.

“She shouts ‘f*** off you c*** and threatens to spit in the officer’s face – she was arrested for breaching her Asbo.”

Defending Morris, Terry McCarthy explained that she describes Lytchett Way as home, it was where she had lived for 22 years before her struggles with alcohol began.

Mr McCarthy said: “It’s not surprising really that there are all these breaches – she is an alcoholic.

“It was cold and damp and she wanted to seek shelter in a shed as she has done previously.”

The court heard that Morris had been released from her last prison sentence on September 20, just five days before she was found in the garden in Nythe.

That sentence was imposed after two other Asbo breaches when probation officers told the court there was nothing more they could do to help her.

Sentencing Morris to 12 weeks in prison, the chairman of the bench, Mrs Alison Auvray, said: “You have a long history of breaching this Asbo.

“The order was put in for a very good reason, you’ve repeatedly done this and not engaged with probation.

“This is so serious that we have no alternative but to send you to custody.”

Morris could be heard shouting as she was led to the cells.
