A HEREFORDSHIRE man has escaped a jail term after making a grossly offensive call to 999.
Clint Haines entered a guilty plea when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford on February 3 after previously pleading not guilty.
The court heard that the 39-year-old had made a grossly offensive or indecent, obscene, or menacing phone call to 999 on August 24.

He also admitted committing a further offence while subject to a suspended sentence imposed by magistrates in Kidderminster on April 16, 2020.
Haines, of Sufton Lane, Mordiford, was handed a 12-month community order and must pay costs of £60 and a £90 victim surcharge.
His suspended sentence was not activated because, magistrates said, of his long compliance, the effect of a brain injury on his life, and because he is the carer for his son.
