Aggressive beggar in Exeter jailed

An aggressive beggar in Exeter has been jailed for two months for attacking two people.

Homeless Steven Cook abused and shouted at people in the High Street and Sidwell Street and shopkeepers believe he put off customers.

He's just appeared before Exeter Magistrates for attacking a man in the street as well as a police officer. When he comes out of prison he'll have to conform to the terms of a new style CRASBO for two years, which limits what he can do.
