A PORTISHEAD man has been jailed for breaching an 18-month suspended prison sentence order.

Sam Bovey, 34, of West Hill, admitted failing to comply with a community requirement of the order imposed by North Somerset Magistrates' Court last November.

Back in the same court on Friday (May 19) he was sentenced for three original offences of criminal damage.

He was jailed for eight months on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently, meaning his overall sentence is one of eight weeks in prison.
