Latest: Bookies ban local man for racial abuse

Posted by news desk in Local News, 20th August 2008, 7:49pm

Islington bookies have banned local man Paul McHugh from their shops for two years after he was caught racially abusing a member of staff at William Hill betting shop in Stroud Green Road.

Mr McHugh, 46, who lives in Tollington Park, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault and was sentenced to nine weeks in prison at Highbury Magistrates Court.

He breached an existing community order barring him from entering Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park and was served a further anti-social behaviour order to prevent him from being in possession of an open container of alcohol in a public place and entering any betting shop in the borough of Islington.

McHugh has previous convictions for being in possession of an offensive weapon, possessing a dangerous dog, being drunk and disorderly and other public order offences.
