Dad Of Five Dodges Jail After Getting Busted For Abusing Benefits

Stephen Astbury pocketed over £15,000 in benefits after he claimed he was too anxious to work. After investigators did a little digging, they discovered that he was actually spending the money on holidays. He was given a 32 month prison sentence, which his lawyer was able to get suspended for 12 months after he told the judge and jury that his client had just survived a near fatal motor accident.
