A HOMELESS man has been jailed for six weeks for breaching a domestic violence order in Newton Abbot.

Richard Maddison, aged 27, of no fixed address, admitted he had breached the order made by North and East Devon Magistrates when he went to a home in Manor View on two occasions and swore at Stephen Maddison through the front door.

Jailing him for six weeks, magistrates said the offence was ‘so serious because it was the second breach involving three breaches on the same day.’
