Son caught harassing his own mum spat in police woman's face and told her he had hepatitis

A troublesome son previously jailed for repeatedly harassing and pestering his own mother for money has been locked up again. Serial criminal Lee Daniels was in a continuing cycle of being jailed and then being released before immediately reverting to making a nuisance of himself.

He kicked and spat at a female police officer on his latest brush with the law, Hull Crown Court heard. Daniels, 34, of Hull, but recently in custody on remand, admitted harassing his mother and assaulting a police officer as an emergency worker on July 19.

Billy Torbett, prosecuting, said that Daniels was subject to a five-year restraining order made on June 28 last year, banning him from contacting his mother. Police went to her home after a report that he was there, reports Hull Live.

They looked in a bedroom and identified him. He tried to get past a female officer and asked: "What are you doing?" He was told that he was being arrested for stalking and he replied: "Stalking who? I have been invited here."

Daniels was escorted out of the house but, before he reached the door, he kicked the female officer on her shin, causing immediate pain. He shouted to the police: "I'm going to bite one of your noses off."

Daniels spat in the same female officer's face and hurled abuse. He confirmed that he had hepatitis B.

He had convictions for 89 previous offences, 32 of them for breaching court orders. He had been jailed for eight months in November last year and for one year in June last year. He was on licence at the time of the latest offences.

Jane Rapin, mitigating, said that Daniels pleaded guilty at a hearing before Hull Magistrates' Court. "These are orders that he has previously breached," said Miss Rapin.

Daniels had previously been given a drug rehabilitation order. "At the time that it was in place, he simply wouldn't work with probation," said Miss Rapin. "Now, he feels very differently. He is now willing to accept help.

"His first taste of prison was when he was 18 and he is now 34. He has been totally clean of drugs now for almost two months. He is doing his best to sort himself out."

Judge Alexander Menary told Daniels: "This is the third breach of this order. There have been very many previous breaches of restraining orders and non-molestation orders. It has been a revolving door of going into prison."

Daniels was jailed for one year. The current restraining order will remain in place.

The previous hearing in November last year was told that a five-year non-molestation order was made at Hull Family Court on April 2 last year, banning Daniels from contacting or communicating with his mother. He breached the order and, on June 28 last year, he was jailed for one year and was given a five-year restraining order.

The police became aware on October 31 last year that he had been released from prison. Daniels repeatedly telephoned his mother and sent messages in breach of the order.

There were hundreds of telephone calls and text messages. Daniels went to his mother's home 12 times, asking for money. He was arrested on November 1 and he accepted that he had sent and received messages.

He also had a conviction for breaching a domestic violence protection order, involving an ex-girlfriend. Daniels was jailed for eight months that day, to run concurrently with his period of recall to custody.

At the hearing on June 28 last year, when Daniels was jailed for one year, the court heard that, after he was released from prison on January 26 last year for other matters, he regularly went to his mother's home for his clothes.

He was aggressive and hurled abuse at her and called her names. He repeatedly sent text messages and made calls asking for money.
