  • Using any insulting language towards, or threatening violence towards, any person

  • Owning or possessing a dog, or permitting any dog to be present, on any premises owned or controlled by the Respondent
  • Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs in public
  • Having an open container of alcohol in a public place.

Community Beat Officer for Maryport, PC Sam Steele  said “We are pleased that the court has granted the injunction against Turner.

“Turner’s behaviour has caused significant issues within Maryport which has been resource intensive for emergency services.

“The injunction will help manage the individual’s behaviour and restrict Turners activities.

“If the conditions are ignored, she will be arrested and put before the courts who have greater powers to sentence any breach.

“If you witness the conditions being breached, please report it to us.”

Residents who are having any issues with this type of behaviour in their communities are encouraged to speak to their local Community Beat Officer or PCSO.
