There were plenty of criminals jailed last month.

Some offenders got long sentences handed to them, especially George Knights who has been jailed for life after murdering a man and trying to dispose of the body with acid.

At the end of last month, we featured the offenders who were jailed in December, so we thought we'd feature the latest lags who were locked up.

Carol-Ann Cousins

Known as the 'neighbour from hell', Carol-Ann Cousins has been jailed for a year.

Cousins tormented people in St Benedict Road, Snodland, with daily threats and abuse.

The alcoholic has also been banned from walking past her victim’s home after repeated drunken outbursts last year.

An anonymous neighbour described the 'absolutely horrible' experience and said: “It was awful, I was getting death threats daily. She was knocking on our doors all the time, shouting and screaming, trying to get in."

Barry Doughty

The escaped prisoner is back behind bars after being on the run in Europe for 20 years.

Doughty, from Dover, re-invented himself as a drug-dealing kingpin to pay for his arthritis treatment.

He had escaped prison in November 1999 after bending an iron bar in his cell at HMP Littlehey and scaling the perimeter fence.

The 57-year old was jailed for six years at Canterbury Crown Court after previously admitting escaping prison and being concerned in the supply of Class C drugs.

Samuel Talman

This man was sentenced to six years in prison after he deliberately struck a pedestrian in an Edenbridge car park.

Talman accelerated in his car, mounted the kerb, and hit the victim, who was thrown over the bonnet.

He was found guilty of wounding with intent.

The victim was left with facial injuries and several broken vertebrae.

Tony Baker

The Maidstone man was jailed for dangerous driving after he led police on a dangerous car chase in Cambridgeshire.

Baker overtook other vehicles, forced cars off the road and crossed a solid double white line at a junction to try and evade police.

The 27-year-old also drove on the wrong side of the road into a blind corner and into the path of oncoming cars.

He was handed nine months in prison and disqualified from driving for two years, with an extended retest required.

James Bainbridge

The paedophile from near Bexley has been jailed for three years after being found with images of children as young as 10 years old on his computer.

The registered sex offender was jailed following a previous conviction and admitted charges of sending and making an indecent image of a child.

Bainbridge, aged 26, also pleaded guilty to breaching a sexual harm prevention order, which had been imposed as part of a previous sentence in October 2020.

The two-year suspended prison term was previously handed down after he attempted to meet a teenage girl he had been speaking to online.

Tyler Mitchell

Mitchell was jailed for 20 months after admitting three arson charges, causing nearly £12,000 worth of damage.

The 23-year-old roofer started a revenge fire outside a Maidstone house, destroying three cars and leaving a mother fearing she was going to die.

He bought inflammable liquid before starting a blaze in Tonbridge Road.

The man had a bust up with his friend James Bromley on May 5, 2020 and targeted his Silver VW Polo.

Daniel Barker

The Canterbury robber spent stolen cash in McDonald's after mugging man with cerebral palsy.

The 42-year-old was handed 21 months custody at Canterbury Crown Court.

Police traced Barker to a nearby McDonald’s after he subjected his victim to a violent street robbery.

Following his arrest, Barker smashed up the police laptop when detectives showed him CCTV footage of his actions in Station Road East.

Tyler Blaney

The Ramsgate dad was jailed for 20 weeks for perverting the course of justice.

The 26-year-old crashed his work van into parked cars in St Luke’s Avenue, Ramsgate, leaving the vehicle abandoned and blocking traffic in January 2020.

The next day, Blaney reported the vehicle had been stolen, claiming he dropped his keys outside his home, prosecutors said.

However, his lies fell through when police found saliva on the Fiat’s emergency deployed air bag.

Christopher Tweed

Tweed, formerly of Church Hill, Chatham, was jailed for spitting at police, saying he had Covid and harassing woman in Morrisons, Dover.

The 35-year-old, who has 148 previous convictions, also unleashed a tirade of derogatory homophobic abuse towards the officers and spat at the inside of the police vehicle, in April 2020.

At Canterbury Crown Court, Tweed threatened to burgle the judge who jailed him.

“If I ever find out where you live I’m going to come around and burgle your house,” he shouted from the dock.

Connor Jones

The thief assaulted a shop worker and spat in the faces of two police officers.

He was jailed for 360 days at Folkestone Magistrates' Court.

Jones, a 24-year-old of Shelley Avenue, Canterbury, threw bottles of alcohol at the member of staff after being caught stealing.

He also urinated on his cell door after being brought into custody.

Wayne Slough

The domestic abuser has been jailed for three years, after stabbing himself in the chest and checking into Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, in a plot to get his former partner arrested.

The 33-year-old of Avery Way, Rochester, intentionally sought to create a verbal altercation at the woman’s address in Longfield, which he recorded on his mobile phone.

He claimed to police that the recording provided evidence of the assault taking place, but detectives were able to use the very same recording to prove he had lied.

Slough denied perverting the course of justice but was found guilty following a trial.

Christian Tuck-Brown

The paedophile from Canterbury was jailed for three years and four months for breaching a court order because children stayed at his home.

He was caught having a child stay at his home after police spotted children's wellies and a backpack during a surprise visit.

The 39-year-old pervert was required to have regular visits from officers and inform them if youngsters would be at his home in Canterbury High Street, after being convicted of voyeurism and having indecent photos of children.

When searching the man's home police found a media stick plugged into his television which contained 41 films and 15 stills showing indecent images of children.

Christopher Marlborough-Jones

Marlborough-Jones who threw a safe at a woman before threatening her has been jailed for two years and four months.

He had breached multiple court orders designed to protect his victims.

The 33-year-old was placed on the Sex Offenders Register in 2019 following a conviction for exposure. He was later made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

Last May, he threw a safe at a woman at a property in the Spring Lane area of Canterbury before threatening her.

Carly Dear

The remorseless former teacher groomed, controlled and repeatedly sexually assaulted a pupil for five years.

Dear, a 46-year-old former Maidstone Grammar School for Girls (MGGS) teacher has been jailed for six years at Canterbury Crown Court.

Dear would harass the girl over the phone and say “I missed you so much” when she returned from holidays. She also told the girl she loved her repeatedly and invited her back to her home in Whitstable, where she carried out progressively serious sexual acts.

The victim says such is the lasting impact of the abuse that she is anxious from the minute she wakes up to the minute she goes to sleep.

Nico, Shannon and Clint Adams

Three members of a Medway family were sentenced to nearly three years after a brawl at the Plough and Chequers in Danes Hill, Gillingham.

Brothers Shannon and Nico Adams each received suspended jail sentences but their uncle, Clint was jailed for 15 months.

A dog watched on with its paws on the bar as violence erupted inside a busy pub.

Judge Julian Smith told them: "What a pathetic display! You could have all walked away and ended it there but you didn't and what followed was deeply unpleasant violence."

Geoffrey Mayne

The self-styled "colonel" - who once started a fake army to defend Kent from Isis - was jailed for 10 months, after attacking a prison officer and a policeman.

Geoffrey Mayne set up his imaginary Kent War Forces in 2015 claiming he had a "God-given right to defend Kent and bear arms".

The 29-year-old was convicted of two assaults on emergency workers after he refused to turn up for his trial.

Prosecutor Ben Irwin told how Mayne repeatedly beat prison officer Roberto Battista in January 2019 and then launched an attack on PC Alexander McCallum in Ashford when he went to arrest him in November 2020.

David Saunders

The Ashford man pretended to be an undercover police officer using fake handcuffs, then got naked after almost hitting family with car.

He was jailed for 18 months at Canterbury Crown Court.

Saunders, 37, brandished handcuffs to back up his claim which he had "for making prank TikTok videos".

Officers would soon corner the former soldier in a car park and demand he dropped the weapon. But Saunders got naked in protest, became aggressive and was pepper-sprayed.

Ezekiel Rose

The wedding photographer has been jailed after claiming he unknowingly tried to smuggle kilos of heroin into Kent.

Rose’s motorcycle was stopped at the inbound Channel Tunnel terminal in Coquelle when £100,000 worth of the Class A drug was discovered.

Rose would claim he believed the packages contained cannabis and he must have been duped during a deal in the Netherlands.

However, the 40-year-old from Pimlico, London, got a five-year-and- two-month prison sentence.

Michael Smith

The Sittingbourne pervert was locked up after using social media apps in attempts to groom what he thought was child.

Smith repeatedly sent indecent images and videos of himself to another user, who he believed was only 13.

The 54-year-old pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court and was sentenced to three-years-and-six months’ imprisonment.

He was also given two weeks' custody for breaching his bail conditions and was placed on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely, and made subject of a sexual harm prevention order.

Raymond Baxter

The 59-year-old paedophile from Dover was jailed for eight years for sexually abusing girls in the 1990s.

He assaulted the girls, who were both under 10, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

As part of the investigation into the indecent assaults, a search was carried out at Baxter’s home in Clarendon Place, Dover, where computer equipment was seized.

The equipment, which included two laptops and one mobile phone, was analysed and found to contain indecent images of children.

Ruth Lambert and Jessica Silvester

The paramedic couple addicted to opiates stole pain-relieving drugs from dying patients to feed their habit.

They targeted 29 homes during lockdown and swiped the vital medication from patients receiving end-of-life care.

Lambert, 33, and Silvester, 29, formerly of Gap Road, Margate, pleaded guilty to conspiring to burgle and conspiring to commit theft, having stolen a £14,000 ultrasound machine from the NHS.

They were each sentenced to five years in prison.

Naomi Roberts, Frederick Lamb and George Roberts

Young mum Naomi Roberts, 20, stabbed a rival with a kitchen knife in a revenge attack.

She will give birth behind bars as she was sentenced to three years and eight months in a Young Offenders’ Institute (YOI).

Naomi plunged the blade into Channey Smith’s leg as her boyfriend Frederick Lamb, 19, kicked her head “like an American football.”

The duo, alongside Naomi’s brother George Roberts, 21, were locked up by a judge at Canterbury Crown Court for the “vicious, thuggish violence.”

Frederick Lamb was sentenced to 10 months in a YOI, and George Roberts was jailed for two years and nine months.

George Knights

The 19-year old "Breaking Bad-inspired" murderer predicted he was going to rob someone just 24 hours before carrying out a brutal killing.

Maidstone Crown Court heard Knights, 19, was desperate for money and told a friend he planned "to hurt someone" and rob them of £2,500.

He murdered Stephen Chapman and tried to dispose of his body in a bin and covering it in acid.

The murderer has been jailed for life and will serve a minimum of 23 years before he can be considered for parole.

Prosecutor Caroline Carberry QC told the court Knights took inspiration from American drugs crime drama Breaking Bad in trying to dispose of the body.

Jack Green

The 16-year-old boy has been sentenced to more than four years behind bars.

Green plunged a knife into a woman’s chest in a homophobic attack in Pizza Direct in Canterbury.

Canterbury Crown Court was told how Megan Murphy and three friends ran into Green and four others in Direct Pizza in Northgate in the early hours of October.

Initially conversations remained friendly, however, Green took issue when Miss Murphy’s friend, Lewis Eaves, said he was bisexual.

Matthew Case

The abuser, of Ashford, forced his former partner into prostitution, beat her and threatened to flush her dog down the toilet.

Case punched her in the face after she refused to become an escort, then set up a web page advertising her services against her will.

A judge branded it “the worst sort of control one can imagine” before handing down a 26 month prison sentence at Canterbury Crown Court.

The 38-year-old pleaded guilty to controlling or coercive behaviour and causing actual bodily harm moments before his trial.

Jacob Winnett

Winnett was sentenced to nine years and two months after 17 premises were targeted during a five-month crime spree.

He broke into 10 homes, attempted to burgle six more and also illegally entered a business premise between October, 21 2019 and February, 10 2020.

His offences covered properties in Gillingham, Higham, Gravesend, Shorne and Rochester and took place mostly in daylight.

Investigating officer DC Colin Cherry said: "Winnett targeted large, often detached, rural premises during daylight hours stealing high performance vehicles and high-value items."

Aaron Duff and William Ferguson

The two men from Tunbridge Wells, were part of a group of drug dealers operating in Kent, and were jailed after experts cracked a secret global chat system.

William Ferguson, 26, of Woodland Road, and Aaron Duff, 29, of Penns Yard, Pembury, admitted their part in a "professional operation" to supply cocaine believed to be in excess of £2 million.

Ferguson - who went by the nickname "Lustful Beetle" was sent to prison for 13-and-a-half years after admitting a conspiracy to supply drugs and money-laundering offences.

His "trusted and willing lieutenant" Duff - known as "Worldly Beast" - received a total of eight years for similar offences - including two years for a separate drugs offence.

Mateusz Kron and Pawel Wierzbick

The pair of drug dealers were caught after thousands of vials of steroids and large amounts of cocaine were discovered at their house.

Officers patrolling the area stopped an uninsured vehicle in Lennox Road, Gravesend while completing checks last year on March 3.

They both pleaded guilty at Woolwich Crown Court.

Kron, 35, was jailed for four years and 42-year-old Wierzbicki received two years and six months’ imprisonment.

Terry Jones

The drug dealer who took advantage of a vulnerable person has been jailed after being caught out by a council worker.

Jones was arrested after a quick-witted member of Folkestone council staff spotted suspicious activity at a sheltered housing flat.

Searches uncovered around 35 wraps of heroin and analysis of messages on a phone found in Jones' possession showed it had been used to arrange drug deals.

The 29-year-old was jailed for two-and-a-half years at Canterbury Crown Court after he admitted being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

Gavin Seagar

The gas engineer stole ‘priceless’ and ‘irreplaceable’ jewellery from people in Kent while working in their homes.

Gavin Seagar, would make excuses to search other rooms for easily concealable items, including jewellery and cash while carrying out legitimate work.

On one occasion, he stole an engagement ring from a woman in Ashford.

It was given to her by her late husband more than 50 years ago and she described it as 'priceless'.

The 43-year-old also stole a watch bought in 1966, valuable rings, as well as significant quantities of cash from properties in other areas between 2018 and 2019.

He was sentenced to a year-and-six-months behind bars at Ipswich Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to nine counts of theft.

Ross Deffley

A man who attempted to smuggle heroin and cocaine into Kent was also locked up.

Ross Deffley was caught trying to smuggle drugs worth £16.5m into Dover hidden in catering supplies.

The 26-year-old, from Solihull, was arrested when he was stopped at the border on September 21.

Border Force officers searched his van and found boxes of what appeared to be nitrous oxide canisters for the catering industry.

However, when officers opened up the boxes, they found a total of 183 kilos of heroin and cocaine concealed inside, before also discovering an extendable baton in the cab of the vehicle.

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison at Canterbury Crown Court, and will now be subject to a confiscation investigation under the Proceeds of Crime act to identify and seize the cash and goods obtained from his drug smuggling.
