A MAN could face jail if he enters a popular retail park.
Jason Copeland, 25, repeatedly threatened staff at the Asda supermarket at Mount Pleasant Retail Park.
He has now been given an antisocial behaviour order banning him from the site in east Hull.
Shops at the retail park have been given posters to display with an image of Copeland and details of his ban.
Carl Beacock, neighbourhood nuisance officer for Hull City Council, said: "He would shout, swear and threaten violence, which was alarming and distressing to other people who were using the retail park.
"For security staff, it is partly an occupational hazard to be treated like this but Mount Pleasant is a busy place and there was a concern his behaviour was also affecting members of the public."
Copeland, of St George's Villas, east Hull, was made the subject of the two-year order at Hull Magistrates' Court after an application by the city council.
Breaching an Asbo can result in a prison sentence of up to five years.
The court was told Copeland has confronted security staff at Asda five times between November last year and February this year.
He had been banned from the supermarket in February 2011.
Mr Beacock said: "He would frequently breach this ban by entering the store. When he was met by the security team, there would always be a public show in which he would become verbally abusive, shouting, swearing and offering violence.
"It was quite alarming and distressing for the customers who had to witness this. We decided the park would be a better place if he was banned."
Officers from the council's neighbourhood nuisance team worked with PCSO Gemma Jackson to gather evidence for the order.
Mr Beacock said: "Gemma has a really good relationship with the shops in the Holderness Road area and at the retail park.
"She regularly speaks to staff about problems and Copeland's name was cropping up again and again.
"It was then decided to apply for a court order. Hopefully, it will have an immediate impact on the park as he has been the biggest problem there.
"Now, staff and shoppers will not have to be subjected to his aggressive behaviour while they are shopping or browsing.
"Hopefully, this order will curb his ways."
Anyone who sees Copeland breaching the order should call police on 101.
