Richards was sentenced to 17 weeks in prison and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £128.

Pc Davey Rawlings, the dedicated neighbourhood officer for Melton town centre, said: “Despite being subject to a CBO, Richards continued causing trouble to people and businesses in the town. I hope the community can take some relief from the fact she has now been dealt with by the courts and is serving time in prison.”
