A WARRANT has been issued for the arrest of the mother of tragic toddler Levi Bleasdale, at Burnley Crown Court.

Kirsty Ryan, 23, had been due to appear for sentence after admitting theft offences. The defendant, of Wasdale Close, had been committed by Burnley Magistrates.

In September the crown court heard she hit one victim with a glass and then sank her teeth into the landlord at the New Black Bull pub, in Padiham.

She was given 36 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months with supervision.
