Youth fined for 'anti-social' breach
A YOUTH who had been banned from entering Bexhill was fined by magistrates for breaking an Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
Nelson Smith, 19, of Darvel Down, Netherfield, was seen by police officers at a filling station in Bexhill.
Last November, the Anti-Social Behaviour Coordinator for Rother police district, Robert Perry, successfully applied to Hastings Magistrates Court for an ASBO against Smith.
The order:
*banned him from Sidley or Bexhill
*prohibited him from associating with another named person
*prevented him being in a motor vehicle with that person
*and prevented him from acting in an anti-social manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to anyone in England and Wales.
At the time, Mr Perry said that Smith's actions had caused a community of both young people and adults who had encountered him to live in fear.
At Monday' hearing, magistrates fined Smith 200 and ordered him to pay 43 costs.
