A thug who battered one of his friends during a drink and drugs binge leaving him with several broken bones has been jailed. Addict Jamie Hodgson, 33, set upon the pal after an argument and left him lying in the street before returning to continue the vicious attack.
Hodgson and his victim, who lives in supported accommodation in Bury, were both drug users at the time and on the day of the attack, January 29 this year, they went out begging together.
Hodgson stole some spirits from Tesco and they sold them, using the money to buy heroin and crack cocaine, the court heard.
