A TEENAGE son harassed his mum so much she asked him to leave the family's home in Coleford, a court heard.
Anger management and drug issues were at the heart of the problems defendant Nicholas Hughes, 19, caused his mother Susan, Stroud Magistrates were told.
Hughes previously admitted harassing his mum and causing her distress and alarm by being aggressive and abusive.
He'd also pleaded guilty to assaulting a police sergeant by shutting his arm in a door when the officer was called to the house, the hearing heard Wednesday.
Probation reports on Hughes were read by the magistrates before they heard from prosecutor Louise Pinder that the defendant had been to his mother's home in Broadwell, Coleford.
"His mother was very distressed," Miss Pinder said. "The defendant was causing problems. He didn't live there for three months after she asked him to leave because of his anger problems and continuing harassment."
Solicitor Nick Cooper, for Hughes, said his client found it very difficult to be away from his family because he was struggling with a drug problem.
"He is very remorseful. He knew it was not the way to treat his mum. It made him feel very bad." Mr Cooper said Hughes was ashamed and now wanted to instead make his mum proud of him.
Hughes, who appeared via video link from Gloucester Prison, was freed to undertake a 12 month supervision requirement with probation, including drug rehabilitation and anger management sessions.
A two-year order restraining him from the family home was also imposed and he was ordered to pay £30 compensation to the police sergeant.
