A TEENAGER has been told to carry out 100 hours of unpaid community work as a punishment for his threatening and abusive behaviour in a street in the centre of Helensburgh.

Jordan Naylor is already the subject of a community payback order for a separate offence committed outside a takeaway in the town last April.

That order requires him to complete 100 hours of unpaid work, plus a further 25 for a failure to appear at a court hearing, within six months.

But he is now the subject of a second CPO – imposed for an offence committed three weeks before the previous incident.

Naylor, 19, of Carlibar Road, Barrhead, appeared in court on Thursday for sentencing after pleading guilty to shouting, swearing, acting aggressively and uttering threats of violence in Sinclair Street on April 1.

Dumbarton Sheriff Court heard Naylor’s existing CPO, which was imposed on January 12, was progressing well – but Sheriff William Gallacher decided to impose an additional order as punishment for the Sinclair Street incident.

The sheriff said: “The question is whether a new order ought to be made here. My inclination is ‘probably’.

“It seems you are benefiting from supervision, and that ought to continue. Those hours are in addition to the hours you are doing already.”

Naylor’s further unpaid hours will have to be completed within nine months, while the new order will see him placed under social work supervision until March 2018.
