A DRUG addict with 182 previous offences on his record accepted that magistrates had no alternative but to send him to prison when he appeared for four more offences of dishonesty.
Blackburn magistrates heard Kenneth Young was in breach of community orders imposed earlier this year which the probation service said he was making little effort to comply with.
Young, 38, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to stealing lead from the guttering at the Islington Motel, Blackburn and three charges of theft of meat from the Spar shop on New Chapel Street and asked for seven offences to be taken into consideration.
He was sentenced to 120 days in prison.
