The unusual case was heard before magistrates in Grimsby. Other offenders dealt with in recent days include a driver caught with heroin in his possession and a man jailed for carrying a knife in a public place.
While some cases were adjourned to be tried at a later date and others sent to Grimsby Crown Court, magistrates handed out prison sentences, fines and other sentences to offenders from across northern Lincolnshire. Here is a selection of the cases heard last week.
