Man remanded in custody after breaching Asbo about dropping money

A man given an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) for dropping banknotes and coins has been charged with breaching his order.

The Asbo, issued in July 2002, bans Stuart McGhie, 45, from letting bank notes fall to the ground, displaying bank notes to another person, communicating with girls under 18 or causing harassment, alarm or distress.



Previously, he used bank notes, often protruding from his trousers, to attract the attention of young girls when walking around or on buses. McGhie was arrested on November 2 over alleged breaches by dropping banknotes from June 1 to August 31 in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

He was charged on Thursday with three breaches of the order and appeared at Oxford Magistrates’ Court that day. McGhie, of Steventon, was remanded in custody and will face Oxford Crown Court on January 2.
