A WEAPON-CARRYING teen who was ordered to behave himself a year ago has instead racked up a catalogue of offences over the last 12 months — including breaching an anti-social behaviour order.

Ross Gisby — caught with a police-style extendable baton in October last year — has since been hit with fixed penalty fines for vandalism, breach of the peace, street drinking and drug possession, according to prosecutors.

But his lawyer David Tod was unaware of the offences as they were not dealt with in court.

As his client appeared in front of Sheriff Derek Hamilton, Mr Toad said: “He was ordered to be of good behaviour and he appears to have taken the opportunity.” However, prosecutor Lindy Scaife said: “The accused committed two breaches of the peace, in aggravation of an anti-social behaviour order, on 10 July and 27 September.

“He committed a vandalism offence on 18 August, street drinking on 22 August and was found in possession of an illegal drug on 7 October.

“All of the matters resulted in fiscal fines.” Solicitor Mr Tod responded: “This puts a different slant on things, but he doesn’t remember ever being placed on an anti-social behaviour order.

“There is no reference to there being an ASBO in the social work report on him.” Sheriff Derek Hamilton asked: “Leaving the ASBO situation to one side, does he accept all of the other matters?” Mr Tod replied: “He accepts he was given a formal warning for breach of the peace, vandalism and possession of cannabis.” Building course student Gisby, 18, pled guilty at a hearing last year to having the baton weapon with him in Greenock’s Nairn Road.

Fiscal depute Ms Scaife said: “It was a black-coloured autolock device, similar to those used by the police.” Sheriff Hamilton further deferred sentence on Gisby until the new year for reports.

He told him: “Notwithstanding the fact that you have no previous convictions (in court), you have clearly not been of good behaviour. You need to co-operate with the report.” Gisby, of Braeside Avenue in Greenock, will learn his fate on 21 January.
