Chelmsford man banned from cycling caught riding to probation meeting
A man banned from cycling has been jailed for 11 months after he travelled to a probation meeting by bike. Jake Carter, 27, of Meadgate Avenue, Great Baddow, was given a Criminal Behaviour Order in November which banned him from using a bike or e-scooter in Chelmsford, Essex. He breached the order twice, and on one occasion cycled to his appointment with the Probation Service.
Sgt Graham Thomas of Essex Police said he showed a “complete lack of respect”. Carter admitted breaching the order at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court . Essex Police said the ban had been imposed on the defendant after he assaulted “multiple” women in the city after cycling up to them.
“Carter demonstrated a complete lack of respect for his Criminal Behaviour Order by breaching it within days of it being issued,” Sgt Thomas said. “This order was given to keep the wider public safe from Carter’s actions and limit his ability to cause further distress to the public.” Follow East of England news on Facebook, Instagram and X.
