Anti-social Shropshire teenager gets loud music and pub ban
A troublesome teenager has been banned from a number of pubs and hotels in Shropshire and warned against annoying residents by blasting music out on public car parks.
Officers said the Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour Order (Crasbo) handed out to Ashley Shane Davies, 19, from Craven Arms, sent out a tough message that such behaviour would not be tolerated by police officers in the area.
The order was granted by justices sitting at Shrewsbury Magistrates Court after Davies was convicted of damaging a patio heater worth £350 at the Vodka Source Bar in Shrewsbury in August. Damage to the Craven Arms Hotel last month was also taken into account.
Conditions include a ban on playing loud music from his parked car and annoying others in either Craven Arms or Church Stretton.
Davies will also not be allowed to park on or near the church car park in Corvedale Road in Craven Arms, or from entering the King's Arms, Buck's Head and The Old Coppers Malt House pubs in Church Stretton.
He was also barred from entering the Craven Arms Hotel and attending any village hall party or private party without an invite from the organisers.
The court also told Davies he was not allowed to meet with other teenagers on Corvedale Road, or Harry Tuffins car park, both in Craven Arms, or anywhere in Church Stretton.
Sergeant Adrian Woolley, of West Mercia Police, said the Crasbo was sought to address incidents and ongoing problems.
He said failure to comply with the two-year order could result in Davies being fined or given a jail term of up to five years.
He said: "The conditions go some way to addressing anti-social behaviour at Corvedale Road and Tuffins car park.
"It also addresses incidents in Church Stretton, where Davies and others have attended pubs and been a direct cause of anti-social behaviour.
"The order is tailored to answer the needs of the local community.
"There are others involved in both Craven Arms and Church Stretton who can expect similar court applications if disorder continues.
"Residents from the two towns should not have to suffer from excess noise caused by people racing around in vehicles with loud music blaring."
