A RACIST who made his victim feel ‘humiliated’ and ‘depressed’ has walked free from court.

Alan Jenks, of Broadbent Avenue, Latchford, appeared before Warrington Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to using violence to secure entry to premises, commission of a further offence while subject to a conditional discharge, and racially aggravated harassment.

The 47-year-old was handed an 18-month community order.

Prosecuting, Angela Blackmore told the court how Jenks breached his conditional discharge in July after he was intoxicated and refused entry to a homeless shelter on Museum Street, Warrington, where he was temporarily staying.

Jenks had white foam coming from his mouth and was arrested after swearing, shouting, screaming and refusing to leave.

On September 9, 2021, Jenks was refused entry to the Museum Street property again as he was drunk.

Ms Blackmore stated how Jenks began throwing items at the window and shouting and then managed to gain access through the front door which was locked.

CCTV footage was later reviewed which showed Jenks kicking the door multiple times.

The court heard how on September 28, 2021, residents were sat outside James Lee House on Brick Street when Jenks came out of the front shouting, swearing and acting aggressively.

One resident tried to grab his hand as he feared Jenks was going to assault somebody.

Jenks threw the residents hand back, who is Polish, calling him a ‘foreign c***.’

The victim said this made him feel ‘humiliated’ and described it as ‘horrible’, claiming it made him feel ‘depressed’ as he had been ‘treated unfairly’.

A witness claimed the racist language used by Jenks was ‘truly upsetting’.

He was arrested by officers as he screamed and shouted, saying: “I’m not a racist.”

Jenks has 17 convictions for 26 offences.

Defending, Gary Schooler told the court that before July this year, Jenks’ last conviction was five years ago.

Mr Schooler stated that on September 9, Jenks was ‘extremely drunk’ and has expressed remorse and regret.

He said that on September 28, Jenks was in an argument and from his point of view the racist language was used in the ‘heat of the moment’ and that ‘they were the first words that came to his head’.

The court heard that since this incident, Jenks has ‘committed himself to stop drinking’ and has not consumed alcohol since.

Jenks was handed an 18-month community order, ordered to complete rehabilitation activity days, complete a thinking skills programme and given an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement for 90 days.
