A FATHER who started taking drugs when he was 11 has begged magistrates to send him to prison. Matthew Scully, aged 24, said he needed to be locked up so he could 'sort himself out'. Scully appeared before North Staffordshire magistrates yesterday after admitting stealing from a decoy car set up by police.
The court heard the Punto had been left unlocked near a doctor's surgery with valuable items on display. Zoe Speake, prosecuting, said: "A police officer left a decoy vehicle with various items including a Tom Tom sat nav and an Apple iPhone in sight. "Once the vehicle had been broken into CCTV footage was retrieved. "This defendant was identified and arrested. "When he was interviewed he admitted taking the items and said he did not know why he had done it, and that he was bored."
"He has begged me to ask you to send him to custody today. "He broke down and has been very emotional while I have been speaking to him. He says he needs to go away to sort himself out. "He told me that he has dropped the children off at school this morning and told them he won't be coming home today, but he will see them in a few weeks."
