Mark Joyce appeared at Birmingham Crown Court before Judge Richard Bond - who had previously said he never wanted to see him again.

The 21-year-old was alleged to have breached a suspended sentence he was handed last year.

Gary Cook, prosecuting, said: "He was summonsed to attend for alleged breaches on that order but failed to attend.

"A bench warrant not back bail was issued which was executed on June 5 and 6 in the south-west in Somerset."

The details of the alleged breaches were not aired in court because Joyce did not have a barrister to represent him.

Judge Bond, who said he remembered Joyce's case 'very well' adjourned the breach proceedings until next week.
