MAGISTRATES gave a 23-year-old man a second chance by allowing him to continue with a rehabilitation order, despite breaching it twice.

Andrew Leslie Palfrey, of Wood Street, Spennymoor, admitted breaching the two-year order, which he was given last May after failing to give details to a police officer.

He failed to comply by missing a session of a drink driver rehabilitation course, which he has since completed. He also missed an appointment with a probation officer. For each breach, he was fined £25.
