Suspected shoplifter pulled baseball bat from car boot and threatened to stab employee with his keys
A dad "let his anger and temper take control" after he was kicked out of a Marks and Spencer store and ended up in prison.
Nardeen Nemat, prosecuting, described how the staff member pushed Chiocchi back in an effort to detain him with the assistance of a colleague. The suspected thief was then said to have opened his mouth and moved his head towards the complainant while apparently attempting to bite him. He proceeded to ask his victim whether he had children and told him he was "going to follow him home and find out where he lives". The father to a teenage son then pulled a wooden bat from the boot of his car and said "come here, come and get it" before driving away.
"Perhaps this is a defendant who could be afforded one last opportunity with the sword of a suspended sentence hanging over him. Perhaps the defendant would see that this was his last chance."
