The court heard that on the afternoon of 16 November 2023, Humphrey had met with two friends in Rochdale town centre and had drunk shots and mixed alcoholic drinks.
He then continued drinking at the house he was staying in after being released from prison.
In the early hours of the following morning, Humphrey went to the address on three separate occasions, the trial heard.
During the first incident, he smashed the windows of the property while the owner and her young children were inside.
Police were called, and the family relocated to a different property, as the incident had made them feel unsafe.
On Humphrey’s second visit, he caused further damage to the property by gaining access and on the third occasion, he started a fire that completely destroyed the family’s belongings, some of which were said to be of sentimental value.
