An 18-year-old man who was first given an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) when he was just 10-years-old has been sent to prison after being caught with more than £2,000 of heroin and crack cocaine. Alfie Hodgin became known to the authorities as a child and is understood to have been "one of the youngest people ever to receive an anti-social behaviour order" when he was issued one in December 2014 for "terrorising" his local community.
The two-year order banned him from causing harassment, alarm or distress to members of the public and he was required to immediately leave shops and businesses whenever asked to do so by staff. Hodgin, who was still in primary school at the time, was also banned from associating with any of his friends in public, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
Sadly, the anti-social behaviour order did not dispel Hodgin from further incidents and he went on to have his first criminal conviction at just 13 and later became a "teenage drugs gang boss" - before getting stabbed 27 times with a machete.
