A TEENAGER who was spared jail for a brutal mugging has again been let off with a community order after smashing up a city pub just weeks later.

Sam Weller, of Pipkin Way, Oxford, was given a suspended jail term in May after admitting attempted robbery on a woman in Didcot while wielding a broken bottle of Jägermeister.

Just two weeks after Judge Peter Ross warned him not to carry out any further offences or face jail the 19-year old got into more trouble after unleashing his rage in the toilets at George Street’s Pint Shop.

At Oxford Crown Court today Weller was back in the dock after admitting the single count of causing criminal damage at the city boozer on June 14.

Prosecutor Alexandra Bull told the court that Weller had been drinking at the pub when he ordered a round of shots at about 4.40pm.

The glasses were broken and Weller was duly asked to leave before becoming ‘angry and confrontational’, she said, and dropping a card payment machine on the floor.

Seeming to calm down, the court heard, he asked to use the pub toilets where he was followed by the general manager who stood outside ready to escort him out.

While inside the manager heard ‘banging and smashing’ coming from within and, when Weller emerged, he discovered that mounted pictures had been torn from the walls and a soap machine damaged.

The total damage caused came to £300.

Weller was arrested and admitted carrying out the attack on the pub toilets the following day.

In mitigation yesterday, his defence team said that he had been under a great deal of emotional pressure at the time and had otherwise complied with his previously imposed community order.

He has also signed up to Alcoholic’s Anonymous in a bid to tackle his drinking, the court heard.

Sentencing Judge Peter Ross said: “You are an extremely foolish young man.

“I cannot believe, after just how close you came to custody on the last occasion, you went and behaved as you did at the Pint Shop, George Street.

“As you know, the law says that the starting point in a situation such as this where the offence is committed during the currency of a suspended sentence I will activate it, as I warned you when you were here.

“I am going to step back from that.”

Weller was ultimately made subject to another community order to include 80 hours of unpaid work as well as an alcohol treatment requirement for 12 months.

His curfew was also extended to nine months and he was ordered to pay compensation of £300 and court costs of £100.
