A MANwho threatened youths has been fined.

Samual Adams appeared before North Somerset Courthouse in St Georges on May 11 to plead guilty to using threatening words and behaviour.

The 21-year-old from Clevedon was fined �65 for using threatening words and behaviour.

Last month, the court heard how Adams had gone to Lonsdale Avenue on the Bournville estate and threatened a group of youngsters.

Sue Thomas, prosecuting, said: "Adams and a youth were seen threatening the group.

"When interviewed, Adams said that over the past few months the group had been causing a nuisance and had smashed a friend's window."

The Hallam Road resident committed the offence on April 22 at about 10.40pm.

He was also ordered to pay �60 costs.
