Man aged 40 given year-long anti-social behaviour injunction

A man has been served with a year-long civil injunction order in relation to reports of physical aggression and verbal threats made to members of the public in Gloucester. 

Joshua Fellows, 40 and of no fixed address, was given an interim Anti-Social Behaviour Injunction on 6 October.

During a hearing at Gloucester and Cheltenham County Court yesterday (Thursday 22 October) District Judge Tait granted the full injunction order.

It was brought by Solace following reports of threatened use of violence, safety concerns and fear in the local community. 

Fellows is forbidden, whether by himself or by instructing or encouraging or permitting any other person, from:

1. Engaging in conduct which causes or is capable of causing alarm or harassment or distress to any person within the City of Gloucester
2. Using or threatening to use violence towards any person within the City of Gloucester
3. Entering or being in Ferndale Close, Longlevens, Gloucester at any time. 

The injunction will remain in place until 4pm on 6 October 2027.

A power of arrest applies in relation to any breaches of the injunction, and he could be found guilty of contempt of court and be sent to prison.

Anyone who witnesses Fellows breaching the order is asked to contact police on 101 or complete the following online form: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime
