A HOMELESS man who fired a foul-mouthed torrent of racial abuse at a security guard in Taunton town centre has been jailed.

Justin James Samuel David Moore, 21, of no fixed address was sentenced to 120 days in prison by Taunton Deane magistrates after admitting racially aggravated harassment against a black security guard at the Virgin Megastore.

Sgt Nic Crocker, Taunton police sector deputy, said: "This is possibly one of the worst cases of racial harassment I have come across locally and it will not be tolerated."
