Karl Poundall, from Caister Road, appeared at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court on Friday, June 8, and pleaded guilty to a string of offences between February 2017 and March 2018.

The offences included assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and public order offences.

The 48-year-old was given a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) that prohibits him from entering an area in Elder Green, Gorleston.

The CBO also forbids Poundall from behaving in an anti-social manner that is likely to cause nuisance, annoyance, harassment, alarm or distress to anyone not of the same household.
