The judge issued a warrant for Williams to be arrested and brought to court in a custody van.
Addressing a group of students observing court procedure from the public gallery, the judge explained: "Mr Williams advises that he suffers from anxiety and panic attacks if he has to travel on public transport.
"He says he is currently on medication for this, prescribed by his GP, so he is not coming.
"Uh uh, no good! He has had a month to work out how to get here.
"He is going to have a bigger panic attack in the dock when he does turn up. I have issued a warrant not backed for bail that says he is a wanted man and requires all constables to arrest him on sight."
Sounds like the law is unsympathetic to panic attack sufferers as well...
