A TEENAGER, who was subject to an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo), crashed his mother's car and then shouted at police, a court heard.
District Judge Roy Anderson, sitting at Harrogate Magistrates' Court yesterday, heard how Joel Rayiru, 18, had been out of prison on licence for just two months when he went for an early morning ride, on February 13, in Helen Phipps's car and smashed it into a tree, near the Empress roundabout.
Rayiru, of Devonshire Way, Harrogate, had been drinking but had refused to give a blood test after being taken to Harrogate District Hospital.
Simon Ostler, prosecuting, said that this week, in the early hours of Tuesday, Rayiru was arrested again, in the centre of Harrogate, after shouting obscenities at police in breach of an Asbo imposed last August when he was jailed for ten months.
Rayiru pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking, failing to provide a blood sample, insurance and licence offences, breach of an Asbo, using threatening behaviour and being violent in a police station.
Judge Anderson ordered Rayiru's return to prison to serve a further two months of his August sentence and jailed him for an additional six months for his new offences.
He also banned him from driving for 18 months.
