Some consequences for a 15 year old could be changing the locks on the house the next time he leaves and does not come home for the weekend.  Refuse him entry until he explains where he has been and what he has been up to and don't give him a key until his behavior improves.  Refuse to sign for his driving permit until his attitude and behavior improve.  Take away almost everything he owns and return the items one at a time as his behavior improves, whether he paid for it or not, it is your house and your rules.  Make him pay room and board.  Explain to him that if he wants to be treated like an adult, he will have to act like an adult and accept adult responsibilities and all that comes with it.   These worked for our 34 year old when he was 15.  When he no longer had access to a warm place to sleep and food anytime he wanted it, he changed his behavior.
