A MAN who completed just one hour of unpaid work and was handed a second chance by a court judge has denied again breaching that order.
Billy Fuller appeared at Oxford Crown Court today facing an allegation that he breached a community order.
It is claimed that the 21-year-old, previously of Eastern Avenue, Oxford, breached the previously imposed court order by failing to attend rehabilitation activity requirement days.
The alleged breaches are claimed to have taken place on February 12 and March 3 this year.
At the brief hearing Fuller pleaded not guilty to the allegation and the case was adjourned for a later hearing to be held next month.

His defence barrister told the court that while Fuller had a number of text messages on his phone regarding his rehabilitation requirements there were none for the day in question.
Presiding Judge Maria Lamb said that there were still 129 hours of unpaid work remaining on the order.
The case was adjourned for a contested breach hearing to be held at the same court on July 2.
That hearing is expected to last 45 minutes.
The alleged breach comes after he was sentenced in November for previously breaching that community order.
It was revealed that Fuller had completed just one hour of his unpaid work and he admitted failing to attend rehabilitation activity requirement on July 25 and September 22 and unpaid work on August 27.
Judge Ian Pringle QC, presiding, said he would give Fuller another chance but any failure would mean he would be re-sentenced for the original offence. To mark that breach he added an extra 10 hours of unpaid work, bringing the tally to 130 hours to be completed.
Fuller denies the breach and the matter will be considered next month.
