In August, Foran was spared prison for the second time in the space of months after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin, GBH, having a combat knife in public and possessing cannabis after being caught with eight wraps of heroin worth about £10 each in Halton Brook in Runcorn on January 31 last year.

Chester Crown Court heard last year that he had three snap bags of cannabis for personal use and spat a "spliff" out of his mouth as a police office bundled him to the ground.

Foran was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years, with a 20-day rehabilitation order, 200 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay the GBH victim £50 in compensation – the cash had been found on him when he was arrested.

He had admitted causing grievous bodily harm over an assault on a man in Castlefields on November 9, 2017, while he was a juvenile aged 17, but said he had acted in self-defence.

The blow had left the victim with a fractured eye socket and described the strike as like "being hit with a brick".

Foran was cleared at trial of attempted robbery along with two co-defendants over the same incident.

He would have gotten away with it but a witness was able to identify him as she said he looked like " Shaggy from Scooby-Doo ".

Johnson, 19, was a codefendant in the attempted robbery trial but was acquitted.

It was reported in March that Johnson had been sentenced to four months in a young offenders institution after being caught drug-driving in breach of a previous court order.

Court papers said Johnson had cannabis and a cocaine derivative benzoylecgonine in his blood.

He also admitted driving without insurance and possessing cocaine.
