Their crimes include attacking a police officer and kidnapping.
Also jailed this week were two men who splashed thousands of pounds in shops across the UK using fake Scottish bank notes, then applied for refunds to receive genuine cash in return.
Here’s the full court round-up, with eight of the criminals who were sentenced at Leeds Crown Court this week -
1. James Todd
James Todd, 28, of Grafton Villas, Cross Gates, was jailed for three years after he was found guilty of two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour, stalking without fear of violence and criminal damage.
