He was jailed for 14 days for the breach of supervision and 16 weeks on each of the other charges, one to run consecutively and the others concurrently – a total of 18 weeks behind bars.
Magistrates said they had been left with no choice but to impose a custodial sentence because of his previous record and the nature of the offences.
Newman was also made subject to a further two-year restraining order.
