HE was never far from trouble and the police were never far behind.
Yet when he was handed a juvenile jail sentence of 12 months for possessing hardly more than a gram of marijuana with a street value of about $10, Laurence Boney, then 17, was stunned.
"I felt angry, like I wanted to get up and throw something at the judge," says Boney, from Dubbo in NSW's central west.
"I know he's trying to protect all the people in the community and that, I just felt real angry when he gave me the sentence. I felt like banging my head against the wall."
Boney lives in Alcheringa Street in West Dubbo, a crime hotspot according to local police. All the homes in the street are housing commission.
One local told The Weekend Australian that after dark, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, the area was chaotic and a "no-go zone".
Lol I know the Boney family. How? They live on the same street that i grew up on. My dad still lives on that street. It is not a crime hot spot at all. About half the houses in the street are housing commission. The other half are owner occupied mostly by elderly people. The area is not chaotic and a "no-go" zone on any night.
The story is a complete load of bull dust.
The Boney's are well known trouble. This article is just making up lies to make excuses for a thug.
