A COWLEY teenager who has “kicked the courts in the teeth time and time again” has been given a two-year antisocial behaviour order.

Liam O’Neil was jailed last month after going on a drunken crime spree on the day he was released from an earlier custodial sentence.

The 19-year-old, from Marsh Road in Cowley, was given 21 months in prison in October after admitting burglary, taking a vehicle without consent, shoplifting and common assault.

He burgled a doctor’s flat at the John Radcliffe Hospital before stealing his Mercedes-Benz.

O’Neil then shoplifted cider from a store in Didcot and attacked a shop worker who refused to serve him in Wheatley.

At the time, Judge Julian Hall said “the magistrate or youth court has done its level best to help you and you have simply kicked them in the teeth time and time again”.

At Oxford Crown Court yesterday the same judge accepted an application to give the teenager, who is set for release on May 21, an Asbo.

He said O’Neil has “a perfectly dreadful record”, adding: “I have absolutely no confidence that he will be dried out by (his release from prison) to the extent he won’t want to have a drink. I may be wrong, I hope I am wrong.”

O’Neil’s Asbo will last until he is 21.

Judge Hall said: “It will then be up to him whether he behaves or not.”

He told him: “If you misbehave you will be locked up for five years.”
