Following his arrest, he appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 9 October, where he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of theft. He was issued a one-year community order, which includes a six-month alcohol treatment requirement and 20 rehabilitation activity days. Additionally, he was ordered to pay £1,600 in compensation.
