A Judge has adjourned the sentence on a Tiverton man who attacked his grandfather to allow him a second chance to attend a meeting with the probation service.
Liam Luxon, aged 20, was due to be sentenced at Exeter Crown Court accused of wounding his 67-year-old grandfather, who suffered two facial fractures in the assault.
Luxon, of Queensway, Tiverton, failed to attend an appointment with the probation service and as a result there was no pre sentence report available for Judge Phillip Wassall.
The Judge adjourned he case after Luxon's barrister Miss Sarah Vince told him her client had missed the meeting when a planned lift from Tiverton to Exeter had been cancelled at the last minute.
The Judge warned him this was his last opportunity to cooperate in the preparation of a report and he would be sentenced without the benefit of one if he failed to turn up again.
