WOMAN SMASHED GLASS PANELS: After making allegations of assault, a 27-year-old woman smashed three glass panels as she left a Moreton address.

Carla Louise Sherlock later told police who questioned her it was the wrong way to deal with the matter and she declined to pursue the assault claim.

Sherlock, from Sandbourne, Stavordale Heights, Moreton, admitted damaging the glass at Melrose in Moreton, when she appeared before District Judge Michael Abelson at Wirral Magistrates Court.

The judge told Sherlock she had been extremely lucky not to go to prison in the past.

It was worrying after keeping out of trouble for seven years, she was now offending again.

He made a two-month curfew order which means Sherlock must remain indoors nightly between 8pm and 7am.

She had to pay £250 towards compensation for the damage at premises owned by Wirral Partnership Homes.

WEAVED ABOUT THE ROAD: Police followed and stopped a mobile home vehicle after it twice went round a roundabout at Hoylake at 4.45am and then weaved about the road, Wirral Magistrates heard from prosecutor Neil Tyrell.

Mark Anthony Hon, 47, said he had drank two pints and a test showed 77 mircrogrammes of alcohol, which is over twice the permitted level.

Hon pleaded guilty to drink-driving in Kings Gap, Hoylake.

He said he lived in the mobile home and used his sister’s address in Prenton for correspondence.

Hon told magistrates he had been foolish and naïve. He was not aware how much he was over the legal limit. He would now probably live at a static caravan owned by his parents.

He was fined £100 plus £100 costs and was given an 18-month driving ban which will be reduced by a quarter if he completes a probation course offered to him.

In court, Kelly said he went to the house by prior arrangement to collect property. Ms Melville was not in so he let himself in with a key.

Kelly was fined £150 plus £100 costs and also had to pay £100 compensation.

The magistrates were told the dog was recovered safely.

Gerald Pachter, defending, claimed McCullagh threw the can at the wall and it bounced into her face. He had not intended to hit her.

The judge said it was all down to McCullagh drinking too much.

He bailed him for three weeks for a probation report and with a view to a community-based penalty.

ERRATIC DRIVING: A motorist stopped for erratic driving provided a positive breath test and admitted he had drank four pints.

But later, at the custody suite, he declined to provide a specimen of breath for analysis, District Judge Michael Abelson was told at Wirral Magistrates Court.

Alan Dunn, 28, of Mackenzie Road, Leasowe, pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen under the Road Traffic Act and not having insurance or a licence.

The judge said a good side was that Dunn did not have any previous convictions but a bad side was that he had no licence or insurance and had drank alcohol before driving.

“Drink drivers can do all sorts of things including killing people”, said Mr Abelson.

Dunn was fined £275 and was disqualified from driving for 18 months.
