Chef ordered to pay compensation

The defendant, of Seaside Road, pleaded guilty to criminal damage at a previous hearing.
A case of assault by beating was discontinued.
Christos Christou, defending, said, “He has pleaded guilty to criminal damage at the first hearing and I ask you to give him credit.
“He had an argument with a friend and forgot his jacket and went to look for it.
“He was ushered out by two men and pushed the door. He accepts he must have damaged the lock and it was loose beforehand.”
Guobadia was given a six month conditional discharge for six months and must pay £175 compensation and £85 costs.
