Stephen Castle, a 37-year-old homeless man, was issued a notice ordering him to leave Chippenham for 24 hours at 10am last Friday when police found him intoxicated and acting in a manner likely to cause alarm at Market Place.

He was remanded to attend Swindon Magistrates’ Court after police saw him in town again the same day.

Castle pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a direction given by a police constable and was fined £100.
