A rowdy customer who spat in the face of a pub landlady has been handed a jail sentence by a judge in Preston.
Kevin Murphy also punched another member of staff in the face when he was asked to leave and returned to the premises later brandishing a brick and a plank of wood. The 40-year-old, who is currently serving a term in HMP Preston for an unrelated matter, pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and two of possessing offensive weapons. Jailing him for six months, Judge Simon Medland KC said that unless he was able to change his chaotic lifestyle he faced spending the bulk of his life behind bars.
Moments later he attempted to get back into the pub through a rear door. Then he returned with a brick in his hand and stood outside looking through the window at staff. He then walked away again before returning with a six-foot long piece of wood. Police were called and he was arrested. Murphy’s barrister said that he had since been recalled to prison to serve the remainder of his period on licence and was due to be released in July.
