Bobbie Barron said he was bitterly disappointed at the public response to his evening of wrestling in the Parish Hall on Saturday.

youths were still in the vicinity and the defendant was seen to run away. When interviewed by


police, Hemingway admit­ ted responsibility for the damage,saying: “I just ran over them. I was drunk and I thought it was a


laugh at the time.” Mr Colin Sanderson,


representing him, said his client and two friends had


been to a private party and had too much to drink. It was a stupid incident; 15 or 20 seconds was all it took to walk over the cars and Hemingway would now have to use his life savings to pay for the damage.
