A man who completed nearly half his 150 community service hours can no longer work because of back pain.
Spalding magistrates on Thursday ordered Peter English to serve an 8pm-6am curfew until October 17 instead of doing the unpaid work.
English (50), of Angell Lane, Holbeach, who will be tagged for the curfew, received his initial sentence from Warwick magistrates for two offences of making off without payment.
