DANCING Chris has avoided jail for again breaching a court order banning him from Warrington town centre.

The 65-year-old, whose full name is Christopher Berry, appeared in Warrington Magistrates' Court after pleading guilty to threatening to do damage on November 2, which ending up causing harassment, alarm and distress.

Berry, of Lovely Lane in Whitecross, is prohibited from doing this by a criminal behaviour order (CBO), and was handed a four-week sentence suspended for 12 months.

He was given the CBO in January this year, banning him from entering the town centre after a series of incidents involving police over the previous six months – including fighting, threats of violence, drunk and disorderly behaviour and public urination.

But, this is not the first time Berry has breached the order, which was handed down after he had become a 'drain on Cheshire Police’s resources'.

He was handed 12 weeks in prison after flouting the order four days after it was imposed, and was then given another 16 weeks in April for a second breach.

He was then found on Springfield Street on August 4 and handed a four-week imprisonment suspended for a year.

The defendant breached the order again four days later, having been ‘swearing and threatening and causing alarm and distress’.

Berry pleaded guilty to another breach and failing to comply with supervision requirements, for which he was handed a total of 13 weeks in prison.

Magistrates also activated his previous suspended sentence in full.
