Back behind bars; SINGER'S SERIAL YOB BROTHER IS REMANDED AND FACES JAIL TERM.Byline: ROB PATTINSON CHERYL Cole's bad-boy brother is today back behind bars. Andrew Tweedy has been remanded in custody after admitting to separate alcohol and driving offences. The 29-year-old now faces being re-sentenced at Crown Court for more serious convictions, after breaching a conditional discharge A conditional discharge is a sentence passed by a court whereby the defendant is not punished provided he complies with certain conditions. An absolute discharge is unconditional: in some jurisdictions, where no conditions are imposed at all, in others where the conditions he was given earlier this year. Tweedy, of Langhorn Close, Heaton, Newcastle Heaton is located in the east end of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, approximately 2 miles from the City Centre. It is bordered by the neighbouring areas of Benton and Cochrane Park to the north, Walkergate to the east, Byker to the south and Jesmond and Sandyford to the west. , was caught boozed-up and unable to produce a valid driver's licence or insurance documents for a vehicle on Chester's Avenue, Longbenton, North Tyneside North Tyneside is a metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear in the North East of England. Its seat is at the Town Hall, Wallsend. Created in 1974, the borough lies within the historic county boundaries of Northumberland. . Hauled before North Tyneside magistrates, he was brought back before the court yesterday where he admitted to excess alcohol, not having a driving licence and no insurance. The admissions meant he was automatically also guilty of breaching his outstanding suspended sentence A sentence given after the formal conviction of a crime that the convicted person is not required to serve. In criminal cases a trial judge has the ability to suspend the sentence of a convicted person. . Tweedy could now face a jail sentence when his case is passed back to Newcastle Crown Court. A date has yet to be set for his appearance. Tweedy's initial arrest on Friday was on the suspicion he was carrying a homemade weapon used for dispensing harmful gas. Following questioning he was not charged with any offence relating to equipment of that sort. A warrant was issued for Tweedy's arrest last month when he failed to turn up at court. He was given a slap on the wrists when he eventually appeared a day late, telling the court he had heard about his case on Real Radio. On that occasion the offender had been due in court to answer charges of breaching the terms of a suspended prison sentence he was given for squirting pepper spray in a stranger's face. Judge Faulks ordered Tweedy to pay pounds 100 prosecution costs - at pounds 5 a fortnight - and warned him that if did not comply with the probation order, he faced going to prison. Tweedy was spared jail in May for attacking Lee Clark on August 13 last year. Mr Clark, 30, was walking home from work when he was pounced upon. Tweedy admitted common assault and possession of a prohibited weapon and was sentenced to 36 weeks' imprisonment Imprisonment See also Isolation.
