Round up from Lerwick Sheriff Court

Drink driver banned

A LERWICK man who admitted drink driving when he appeared at the town’s sheriff court from custody on Monday has been fined £700 and disqualified for two years.

Jason King, aged 37, of 5-7 Goodlad Crescent, admitted being more than twice the legal limit for alcohol when he was stopped on Lerwick’s South Road on Sunday.

Sheriff Graeme Napier told King that he could reduce his ban by six months if he attended an alcohol awareness course.

Hammered on door

A MAN who admitted hammering on a door at a house in Lerwick’s Gilbertson Road on Saturday appeared from custody on Monday.

Adam Wyrzykowski, aged 34, of 22 Arheim, pled guilty to threatening or abusive behaviour and was released on bail after sentence was deferred until 15 June for reports to be compiled.

As part of his bail conditions he must not approach his girlfriend or her house.
