He has been ordered not to drink alcohol or enter any premises in which alcohol is sold, other than a licensed restaurant.
Anthony must not use or possess any encrypted device, or other means of communicating via encrypted applications, including WhatsApp, Snapchat, Wickr, Viber, KIK Messenger, Zoom, Discord, WeChat or Telegram.
