A serial troublemaker has been banned from entering any pub in Norwich city centre for three years after racking up 75 convictions.
Stuart Andrews, who is just 25, was given a three-year anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) when he appeared at Norwich Magistrates court on Sunday.
This followed his conviction on Sunday for threatening behaviour, assault, urinating in a public place and disorderly conduct all relating to instances in July and August.
He admitted the charges and was jailed for 12 weeks for these offences.
The court heard that Andrews began getting into trouble after his father Brian was beaten to death in the city centre in 1990.
Fergus Harold, prosecuting, said the bulk of Andrews' 74 previous convictions included 40 of theft, 21 relating to public disorder, and nine assaults.
Harold said: "[Andrews] is what used to be termed a persistent offender.
It is clear he has persistently behaved in an anti-social manner."
Ian Fisher, mitigating, said Andrews' actions were mainly committed when drunk, and he had recently given up drinking.
"He is aware of the Jekyll and Hyde in him as much as anyone," said Fisher.
Under the terms of the ASBO, Andrews cannot enter a licensed premises within the city's ring road for three years.
He is also banned from being drunk or behaving in a threatening or abusive manner within the ring road.

Labourer jailed after pub assault A Crown Prosecution Service solicitor was left with a perforated eardrum after an unprovoked attack at a Hertfordshire pub.
Mike Dunn was struck by labourer Karl Peck in O'Neills in Victoria Street, St Albans, on 5 December 2003, Luton Crown Court heard.
Peck, 31, of Northfield Road, Harpenden, claimed the reason he attacked Dunn was an alleged joke regarding the Soham murders.
However, judge John Bevan said he was satisfied no joke had been told and that the reason for the attack was a mystery.
CCTV footage showed the two men had nothing to do with each other until the attack.
Dunn said sometimes black humour was part of his job, but he could not recall hearing any jokes about the Soham murders.
"I was messing with my mobile phone.
I am as sure as I can be that there was no exchange of jokes that day."
Peck pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and was jailed for 21 months.
