Former Falmouth-based lettings director Gareth Wills who had previously been given a suspended prison sentence after threatening to kill fellow directors in a series of videos and refused bail after breaching restraining orders imposed by the Crown Court and Magistrates Court is now in prison, CornwallLive reports.

As The Neg reported earlier this month Wills (main picture), a founder of Lewis Haughton Wills based in Cornwall,  had told other directors they must pay him money he believed he was owed.

EIGHT MONTHS

Following an original trial, he was given an eight-month sentence, suspended for two years with an order to complete rehabilitation and counselling.

He was also made subject of a restraining order preventing him from contacting any Lewis Haughton Wills employee or director, or going to their offices. Wills was told to pay each victim in the case £500 in compensation.

ARRESTED

He was later arrested on September 30 after being accused of breaching a number of orders made by the courts within days of them being made.

Wills did not appear at Truro Crown Court on that occasion and opposing bail the Crown Prosecution Service told the court that Wills was made the subject of a suspended sentence order by Truro Crown Court on August 23, when he was sentenced with a message that any further breaches of a restraining order would result in his remand in custody.

After committing more offfences and going before the court for pre-dated offences Wills was back in Truro Crown Court again on Tuesday this week, via video-link from HMP Exeter and charged with 10 more offences.

CornwallLive reports he pleaded guilty to eight restraining order breaches, one attempted restraining order breach and criminal damage.

The case was adjourned until Friday this week when he will be sentenced.
