Neal Brookes, prosecuting for the Probation Service, said after being released Saxon was on supervision from August last year to June this year.

Early on he regularly reported to his probation officer, but then said numerous times he could not attend appointments because he was working.

Saxon was asked repeatedly to provide the probation service with proof he was working, but didn’t.

Saxon was sentenced to 30 hours’ unpaid work for the community and ordered to pay £30 costs by magistrates.
