Court fines licensee for police abuse
A licensee was abusive to police who were trying to arrest him after he was ejected from a fellow host's pub.
Steven Hill, 29, was with two other men in the Lion and Lamb in Gosforth, Cumbria, when they were asked to leave because they were barred, Workington Magistrates heard last week.
Police were called and when they arrived, Hill, who at the time ran the Wheatsheaf in Gosforth, was arrested when he intervened on behalf of one of the other men. Hill was also abusive to a female police officer.
Hill told police he had been drinking vodka since 7pm and could not remember much of the evening.
Hill, of Santon Way, Seascale, admitted being drunk and disorderly and resisting arrest. He was fined £110 and ordered to pay £140 costs.
Joe Kelly, mitigating, said his client had been on a staff party and Hill got annoyed when police tried to put his chef in a taxi that was heading in the wrong direction.
Hill has surrendered his licence because he did not think it was appropriate with his conviction.
Doorman's eyelid bitten off' in pub fight
A doorman had his eyelid and eyebrow bitten off during a fight at a Surrey nightclub, Guildford Crown Court heard last Thursday.
Michael Wallis needed facial surgery and a skin graft following the attack at the Embassy in Redhill on 27 June 2004.
Thomas Benson, 29, of West Park Road, Newchapel, was given 200 hours community service and ordered to pay £1,000 compensation after admitting unlawful wounding.
The court heard that the attack happened at 3am after a group of 10 people, including Benson, were asked to leave the club. Benson squared up to Wallis after one of his friends had a glass bottle confiscated by another doorman.
Wallis restrained Benson in a headlock, but the attacker bit his eyebrow and eyelid when the doorman bit Benson's fingers. When Benson was pulled away, the doorman's eye brow and eyelid were ripped off.
Neil Fitzgibbon, mitigating, said Benson did not instigate the violence, and Wallis's injury was "in a large part accidental".
