Violent thugs, a rule-breaking landlord, and England flag-wearing protestors are among those who have been sentenced in Southampton this month.
Throughout August, hundreds of people have passed through Southampton's two criminal courts including stalkers, drink drivers and a man who led police on a 60mph chase.
Below is a round-up of some of the biggest cases heard over the last month:
Matthew Fielder-Taylor
The 35-year-old of Warren Avenue, Southampton was caught after leading police on a 60mph chase through the streets of Shirley.
He was driving a Renault Megane when officers pulled up behind him on Shirley Road just before he took off at speed.
Officers pursued him and when he was finally stopped he was found to have no licence and no insurance.

Ryan Wheatley
Wheatley draped himself in an England flag during a protest in Grosvenor Square before "barreling" into a police officer.
The court heard how the 40-year-old grandfather walked through a car park around a police cordon before running towards a group of anti-racism protestors.
He was then restrained with handcuffs and spray. During the incident, he was seen shouting obscenities as well as making rude hand gestures.
