Under the terms of the order, Meenan is prohibited from:

• Being in an state of undress in public
• Being drunk in a defined part of Nottingham city centre
• Handling an open vessel of alcohol when in public
• Staying in any licence, hospitality, retail or any other building premise when asked to leave by staff

Meenan, of no fixed address, has also been banned from the following premises in Nottingham city centre:

• Any White Rose premises 
• Any McDonalds premises
• Any Revolution premises
• Broadway Cinema in Broad Street
• Suede Bar in Heathcoat Street
• 3 Barrels Drafthouse in Carlton Street
• Hop Merchant in Upper Parliament Street
• Royal Children in Castle Gate
• Sweaty Betty in High Street

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.”
