Description
A 27-YEAR-OLD man from Cheshire West has been sent to prison for more than eight months after not telling police he was staying at a house with a child.
Stephen Bonnett, of Mayfield Road, Northwich, appeared in Chester Magistrates Court on June 16 after pleading guilty to failing to comply with notification requirements.
Between May 6 and 10, 2022, Bonnett failed to notify police within three days of staying in a household for at least 12 hours where a child lives.
He was also charged with the same offence between May 11 and 14.
Although magistrates took Bonnetts guilty plea into account, he was handed a custodial sentence because of his previous convictions of a similar nature.
Bonnett was sentenced to 36 weeks in prison.
He must pay court costs of 85 and a 156 surcharge.
