The offences took place in St Bernard’s Avenue on October 13.

In addition to these offences, Huskinson failed to appear at his scheduled hearing at Boston Magistrates’ Court on November 2.

For the motoring offences, Huskinson was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison, with the court declaring that the defendant had a “flagrant disregard for court orders.”

He was sentenced without a pre-sentence report because “no other sentence was appropriate”, according to official court documents.

He was also disqualified from driving for a further 20 months, and was ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge.

For the failure to appear at his scheduled court hearing on November 2, Huskinson was sentenced to an 
additional four weeks in prison, to run consecutively, due to his “deliberate failure to attend court”, according to the official court documents.

Huskinson did not receive any separate penalties for driving without insurance or for driving without a valid licence.
