Toon, Welbeck Street, Sutton, pleaded guilty to theft, breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order, and an offence under the Public Order Act.
Appearing at Nottingham Magistrates Court, he was jailed for eight weeks.
PC Charles Richmond, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Toon is a prolific thief who was banned from entering this store precisely because of this type of offending.
“Criminal Behaviour Orders have real teeth, and the courts take an extremely dim view of people who flout them so blatantly.”
