A man who climbed onto the roof of a building in Crewe town centre for over six hours - has been jailed for causing a public nuisance.
Daniel Prince appeared at Chester Magistrates' Court on Friday 23 June where he was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison.
The 27-year-old, of no fixed abode, Crewe, had previously pleaded guilty to intentionally/recklessly causing a public nuisance.
The charges related to an incident that occurred around 4pm on Wednesday 21 June when Prince climbed on to the roof of building in Crewe town centre.
A number of officers attended the scene and engaged with Prince for more than six hours, before he eventually came down at 10.30pm.
Following the sentencing, PC Lauren Constable said: "We would like to thank those who contacted and alerted us to Prince's activity, and also thank them for their patience during this incident.
"Prince's actions caused Market Street, a main road in Crewe, to be closed for seven hours, resulting in significant delays in the local area and also impacting on local businesses.
"The incident also required a large number of officers to be present throughout, which restricted their abilities to support other people who needed our assistance.
"The court have clearly acknowledged Prince's behaviour caused a significant nuisance and have handed him a sentence that reflects that."
