In May, Coutts was handed a community order at Avon and Somerset Magistrates’ Court for using violence to enter a premises. The court heard Coutts had turned up at the victims’ address and tried to kick the door down, before smashing a window with a shovel. Four separate restraining orders were made to prevent Coutts from contacting the protected parties. Officers traced the call to a camping site in Upottery, East Devon, and found the protected parties in a caravan. Coutts’ community order was revoked and a 24-week sentence was imposed, suspended for 18 months.
