A drunken racist menace who has committed almost 250 offences has been sent back to prison for 17 months.
Alcoholic Rupert Jones, aged 60, racially abused a man and attacked a police officer during his latest spree of offences, a court heard.
Many of his crimes were in breach of a suspended sentence he was given for shouting and swearing in the street.
Jones, staying at a hostel at Stoke Road in Devonport, faced Plymouth magistrates to plead guilty to six charges.
