All the criminals with Suffolk links who were jailed in June, with cases from Ipswich, Lowestoft, Newmarket, Mildenhall and more
It was a busy month for the courts, with sentences handed out to dozens of people across the county.
While some were punished for more minor offences, others received long jail terms for the more serious of crimes.
These are the people with Suffolk links who faced justice in June.
Drink driver was found slumped in his car
This case involves a man who was found slumped in his car beside the A14 with part of the vehicle sticking out into a live lane.
George Msipa, 37, of Folley Road, Mildenhall, was banned from driving for 40 months and ordered to pay a fine of £500 on June 2.
He was seen in his Mercedes parked beside the road at junction 35, near Stow cum Quy, by officers at about 7am June 1.
Officers suspected he had been drinking and a breath test found Msipa to be more than twice the legal limit.

Also in June, a Newmarket stalker who terrorised his victim with footage of him shooting an imitation gun was jailed.
Barlomiej Doroszku, 35, of All Saints Road, was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison at Cambridge Crown Court on June 5.
Doroszku undertook a stalking campaign which began after the victim ended their four-year relationship last November.
He pestered her relentlessly with about 30 messages and calls a day, including threats to kill her.
He also said he would turn up at her workplace if she did not respond and threatened to share intimate pictures of her if she reported him to police.
In addition to his sentence, he was handed a restraining order for 20 years.

Attacker bit man’s finger off
Another case from June concerns a Haverhill man who bit off someone else’s finger in a drunken attack.
Martin Roskilly, 48, of Castle Lane, was jailed for two years and eight months at Cambridge Crown Court on June 5.
The court was told Roskilly became verbally aggressive in The Crown Inn pub, in Linton, at about 10.30pm on November 11, 2022.
He was asked to leave but refused and a pub worker, who was not on shift at the time, intervened to try to help.
Roskilly pushed the pub worker and dragged him outside. Both men hit their heads on the ground during a scuffle before Roskilly bit the man’s right middle finger off.
Roskilly admitted to having a drinking problem when questioned by officers.

Dealer had 300 bags of cocaine and fake Bulgarian ID
Another case from June concerns Hamid Gjoka, who was jailed on June 10.
Gjoka, 35, of no fixed address, was stopped by officers in Ipswich on April 7 and arrested after 12 small bags of cocaine and £800 in cash were discovered.
