Community order for drug user
10:00am Saturday 5th January 2013 in News
A DRUG user who entered a house before stealing a purse has been sentenced to a community order.
Graham Dixon, 42, got into an address on Kidstone Close, Sutton, snatching the woman’s purse and its contents, St Helens Magistrates’ Court was told.
Dixon, of Holbrook Close, Sutton, was spared jail and instead given a community sentence, which involves treatment for drug dependency.
He will be a non-resident patient for nine months and must take part in up to 24 sessions.
Dixon, who is on benefits, must pay £50 compensation to his victim and £100 in court costs.

we give money to anyone who does not want to work and we provide free healthcare to anyone who needs it regardless of them contributing to it so why would they work?
we allow our country to be influenced by people who walk in from outside countries and want to change our country to suit them,
Our courts will do anything to avoid sending people to prison to save the country money.
we do need National Service and we do need Capital punishment back
