A 21-year-old pleaded guilty to threatening to burn down a home in Witney.

Matthews was ordered to pay costs of £85 and a surcharge of £114. He was also told to carry out 60 hours of unpaid work. He was not required to pay compensation, with court documents stating this was 'due to the complicated family network' which would 'likely cause more harm than good'.
