A HEREFORDSHIRE man has been back up before a court after failing to turn up for unpaid work.

Jay Daniel Marsh admitted one count of failing to comply with the requirements of a community order when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in March.

The court heard from the probation service that the 21-year-old had failed without reasonable excuse to comply with the requirements of a community order imposed by magistrates in Hereford on November 16.

OTHER NEWS:

He had failed to attend unpaid work appointments he had been instructed to attend by his supervising officer on January 3 and January 10, the court heard.

Hereford Times:

He had then failed to provide acceptable evidence to cover the absence within five working days.

The order was varied, and Marsh, of Old Market Close, Ross-on-Wye, was ordered to carry out a further 25 hours of unpaid work.

No order was made for prosecution costs due to his lack of means.
