Rose, who is living at the Salvation Army building, on Charter Row, in the city centre, denied all four charges.

The court heard how he is accused of entering Fargate, from which he is banned, on October 12.

He is also accused of begging on Pinstone Street on November 18, in contravention of the banning order, and of failing to attend a drugs assessment the following day.

Rose was bailed to return to Sheffield Magistrates' Court for trial on Thursday, February 14.

A fifth charge of breaching a dispersal notice was dropped.
