News / Fined for throwing chair
A SHETLAND man who threw a chair at his partner during a domestic argument was fined when he appeared from custody before Lerwick Sheriff Court, on Monday afternoon.
Peter Brian Smith admitted a charge of assault at his home address of 24 Gibblestone Court, Scalloway, on Sunday evening.
Defence solicitor Linda Knarston said her client was drunk at the time, remembered very little of the incident and couldn’t say why the argument had erupted.
Sheriff Roger McDonald said he saw the case as one at the lower end of what appears before the court and fined 42 year old Smith £70.
