A Romsey yob has been barred from every pub in Hampshire.

Lloyd McKenner (22) was given the two-year ban by New Forest magistrates under an anti-social behaviour order. It effectively prevents him from entering all pubs and other licensed premises.

He admitted vandalising an off-licence and assaulting a policeman in Romsey. An officer had to use CS spray to restrain McKenner, of Portersbridge Street, during last month's attack.

Police asked magistrates to impose the antisocial behaviour order because of McKenner's yobbish and drunken behaviour.

He has been charged with a string of drink and public orders offences in the past and is now banned from drinking alcohol or being found drunk in any public place in Hampshire.

If he breaches the order, he could face five years in prison. Police now plan to put up posters and photos of McKenner across the county in a bid to ensure all premises are aware of the ban.

Romsey's police chief said the issue of this ASBO should send a clear warning. Inspector Funnell said: "It contains extremely strict conditions and should send a strong message to other people who choose to behave in an unacceptable manner."
