A teenager who incited a friend to drive away from the police has been tagged to help his mother keep him under control.
The 17-year-old from South Bank - who cannot be named for legal reasons - was convicted of breaching his anti-social behaviour order on October 6.
Yesterday, District Judge Roger Elsey told the teenager he would have to stay at his home between 7pm and 7am and would be electronically tagged.
At an earlier hearing, Judge Elsey heard how the boy had been a passenger in a car that was well known to police, when the driver was asked to stop.
PC Alistair Robinson said the teenager had shouted "go, go, go" to the driver, thus inciting him to carry out an act that would cause "harassment, alarm or distress" to another person, in breach of his ASBO.
James Errington, a disabled man who was sitting in his vehicle on Uvedale Road, South Bank, said the car reversed "as fast as a car can go in reverse" and came to a halt just in front of him, before the driver crossed his path and turned into a field.
The court heard how the police van was too wide to fit through the gateway the two assailants had used.
Alison Kelly, mitigating, told the court she was not sure a conditional discharge was appropriate for the boy, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
