1/1 A MAN branded a public nuisance by a judge has been ordered to pay hard cash up front for any food, drink or accommodation - or face jail. Serial fraudster Mark Anthony Chapman, 43, will have to pay in advance for every pint, glass of wine, aperitif, cocktail, hot drink, meal or stay he gets at any hospitality business for the next five years. If he tries to pay by card, he will have to wait until the banks confirm the payment has gone through before eating, drinking, or unpacking his bags. It is the latest effort by judges to protect hospitality businesses by stopping Chapman’s years-long career of walking out without paying after eating, drinking or staying in their premises in York, North Yorkshire and elsewhere.
