A 17-year-old Nanango youth made his third appearance before a court in just four months when he was charged in Kingaroy Magistrates Court today.
Karl Geoffrey Simpson pleaded guilty to unauthorised dealing with shop goods.
Police were called to the Dollars and Sense store in Kingaroy on November 27 after Simpson was seen to place a pack of cards, glitter, stickers, a cigarette lighter and nail enamel into his bum bag and leave the store without paying.
The value of the goods was just $7.
Police Prosecutor Sgt Wayne Bushell said Simpson was placed on a good behaviour bond when he appeared in court on August 5 charged with assault occasioning bodily harm.
Then on October 21, he appeared in court charged with contravening a requirement.
“The way you are going, you will end up in jail sooner than you think, I assure you,” Magistrate Mark Bucknall told Simpson.
He fined him $150 and recorded a conviction.
Simpson pulled his hoodie over his head, turned on his heels and walked out of the courtroom.
