Stanley Dodds was initially sentenced to eight weeks in prison, which was suspended for 12 months, at the end of last month after he admitted breaching the 2019 order on November 28 of this year by visiting a street in the Hylton Castle area of Sunderland.
Yet he is now beginning a three-month spell in jail after pleading guilty before the same court to breaching the order again on December 5.

Hide AdSouth Tyneside magistrates locked him up after deeming the offence to be “so serious” because “it was committed during the operational period of a suspended sentence”.
Dodds, 55, of no fixed address, had his original eight-week suspended sentence activated and received an additional four weeks in custody for the December 5 breach.
He was also ordered to pay a £128 victim surcharge.
