TEENAGE troublemaker Ryan Wade is today beginning a four-month prison sentence after defying his anti social behaviour order for a fourth time.

The 18-year-old committed his latest breach in a drunken outburst against bouncers who refused him entry to an Ipswich nightclub on April 12.

Wade pleaded guilty to the offence at an earlier hearing at South East Suffolk Magistrates' court but sentencing was adjourned for reports to be made.

He was remanded in custody after the April hearing and has reappeared before magistrates to learn his punishment.

Despite pleas from Wade's defence team for leniency, bench chairman Brian Morden decided a spell under lock and key was the only suitable punishment.

He sentenced Wade to three months in a young offenders' institute for breaching the Asbo and a further 28 days for failing to pay his outstanding fines, which totalled nearly £1,000.

Mr Morden said: "This is not the first but the fourth time which your Asbo has been broken. This has influenced our decision."

Ipswich borough council, who imposed the order in 2001, today welcomed the enforcement of its order.

A spokeswoman said: "This demonstrates the power of Asbos in taking away antisocial behaviour from communities.

"We don't want Asbos to be toothless. We want them to be seen as an effective way of dealing with anti social behaviour and this helps that."

Magistrates were told yesterday that Wade had hurled a stream of abuse at bouncers of Ipswich town centre bar Edward's after he was refused entry for having inappropriate footwear.

The teenager, of Byron Road, Ipswich, refused to move away from the entrance and police were called in a bid to calm him down.

This failed and the tirade of abuse continued, with Wade telling the officers: "Just because you are police, you think you can tell me what to do."

Mitigating, Dino Baricella said: "It's effectively no more than a drunk and disorderly or disorderly conduct offence. These offences would normally only receive a financial penalty."

He added Wade had been in custody for three weeks – the equivalent of a six-week prison sentence – and said this was "sufficient punishment" for the crime.
