PCSO Solomon Clark, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“We’re delighted to have obtained this criminal behaviour order against Meenan, who has been tormenting a number of businesses and members of the public.
“A lot of work goes into securing these orders but it is all worth it because they can be extremely effective at preventing this sort of offending.
“By having this order in place, we know that if Meenan continues his poor behaviour he is likely to find himself behind bars.
“I hope people who have been affected by this sort of offending themselves are reassured by our robust response and the hard work which has gone into securing this order.”
