A man with an ‘appalling record’ deliberately breached a restraining order by turning up at his mum’s house - he told her to call the police as he ‘wanted to go back to jail’. Mark Price, 41, had previously been handed a restraining order banning him from contacting his mum or going to her house.
He’d previously assaulted his mum, and had been jailed for a year after harassing her in a four-year-long campaign. But, following his release from prison on December 16 2021, Price, of Audenshaw, went back to his mum’s house at around 6.30am and knocked on her door.
She came downstairs and looked through the spyhole to see him standing there, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. He asked her to let him in, then told her to phone the police as he ‘wanted to go back to jail’.
