A HAPLESS' teenager who flouted a community order he received after a street melee got a second chance from a judge.

Stevie Rowley, 17, who had passed weapons to others in the disturbance, kept his freedom and was given a new order at Burnley Crown Court.

But Recorder Philip Butler warned him: "It's your last chance."

The defendant, of Primrose Street, Stack-steads, had last October been given 140 hours unpaid work after admitting violent disorder. The Recorder gave him a new 180-hour order after revoking the first.

The judge, who said Rowley had been described as having been on the periphery of the trouble, added the original sentence was far from being harsh.

He was said to have shown "absolutely no compliance" with the first order.

Rowley's barrister said the defendant was pres-ented as a "hapless" individual who had suffered difficulties with his leg.

He did not receive benefits and lived with his mother.
