Excluded Telford 14yr old boy gets 2 yr ASBO

Shopshire Star for full story.

A teenage Shropshire tearaway has been banned from the communities which he plagued with violence and intimidation.

Bobby Arnold, 14 of Brookside, Telford, excluded from Lord Silkin School last year, was made subject of a two-year ASBO at Telford Magistrates yesterday.

The application was brought to court by the Police, in partnership with Telford and Wrekin Council, following a string of complaints.

On one occasion he was in possession of a replica gun. The court heard how the teenager had been a nuisance to shopkeepers, and claims he had been racially abusive on one occasion.
