AN Eastfield Road man has been jailed for a month for using threatening and abusive behaviour.

William George Shearer was sentenced to 28 days in prison after admitting to acting in an aggressive manner so that the victims were in fear of unlawful violence during an incident in Andover in August.

Magistrates imposed a sentence of imprisonment on the 35-year-old because of the seriousness of the offence which was committed late at night at a property with children and his behaviour caused them significant distress.

Shearer was also ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge.
