He has now been sentenced at Loughborough magistrates’ court after he admitted four counts of criminal damage.

Clarke, of Coriander Road, Leicester, also admitted a charge of common assault over a separate incident at Bargain Booze on Market Harborough’s High Street on Saturday January 8 and damaging a bus stop in the town centre that day.

As well as receiving the 12-month community order with an alcohol treatment requirement, he was given a night-time curfew from 7pm to 7am every night for three months and ordered to pay £100 compensation.
