Man Charged Over Essex Burglary and Pub Brawl

David Osbaldeston, 27, from Rishton, faces a string of charges after two separate incidents rocked Accrington and Clayton-le-Moors last month.

Burglary and Bladed Weapon Charges

Detectives say Osbaldeston is charged with aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article following a break-in at a home on Essex Street, Accrington, on October 3.

Pub Brawl Sparks Serious Assault Charges

The next day, Osbaldeston was also slapped with Section 18 wounding and affray charges linked to a violent disturbance at The Royal Oak Pub in Clayton-le-Moors.

Previous Offence Sees Jail Time

During a Blackburn Magistrates Court appearance this morning, Osbaldeston admitted to criminal damage and a public order offence tied to an incident on Spring Street, Rishton, on September 28. He was sentenced to 28 days behind bars.

He is now remanded in custody and will face Burnley Crown Court in November on the more serious charges.
