When Mitchell Rogers popped around to his dad's on Christmas Eve instead of leaving a present he stole bottles of booze. And now he's been banned from having all contact with his father for three years.
Rogers appeared for sentence at Bristol Crown Court today (Wednesday, February 22). The 33-year-old, of Tewther Road in Hartcliffe, pleaded guilty to theft from his father as well as three thefts from shops and two assaults on shop staff.
Judge William Hart jailed him for 34 weeks. He told Rogers: "You have a pretty dreadful record. I'm told you've got ability and intellect, I hope you start using it productively."
