Man jailed for throw ing glass


A MAN has been jailed for throwing a glass in a crowded pub near Clitheroe, where a woman was injured by flying fragments. Andrew Holmes reacted af­


ter being ushered away from a conflict situation in the Black Bull at Chatburn. A woman called Deborah


Fox needed hospital treat­ ment after the glass struck a wall, shattered into pieces and hit her face. She has been left with a per­ manent cheek scar.


. Forty-seven-year-old An- ; drew Holmes, of Darkwood Crescent, Chatburn, had pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding over the events last September. Mrs Fox and her husband


were also customers at the pub that night.;


: The defendant had become involved in an altercation with two males unconnected with the woman. ■ Her husband sought to calm


things down between Holmes and another man by ushering the defendant from the main bar to the taproom. Holmes suddenly picked up ■ a glass and threw it from the


; tap room, through to the main area of the bar with consider­ able force. .


' It struck part of a wall near where Mrs Fox was standing and the glass shattered. Frag­ ments caused her very serious injuries. : Mrs Fox needed hospital


treatment and was left with a permanent cheek scar.

Holmes had pleaded guilty


on the basis that what hap­ pened had been in the heat of the moment. He had had no intention to


injure the woman. Mr Stuart Mills (defending)


told the court; “The defendant is only too conscious of exactly what he has done to some­ body he formerly considered a friend. “He had lashed out by


throwing a glass in frustration at what was going on. “He had become embroiled


in an argument that wasn’t of his making. “He is devastated not only


at what he has done to the vic­ tim, but also about the village where he lives. “He has said it is a place


where this kind of thing never happens. “He has regret and remorse .


and apologises. “He says he has been


banned from all pubs by the local Pubwatcli organisation for five years.” Judge Robert Brown told


Holmes: “Not only.was there physical damage, but consid­ erable psychological damage also. The bar was crowded. “To do what you did was


reckless in the extreme and liable of course to cause the injury which it did. . “The justice of this case de- ■


mands that there be an imme- . diate sentence of custody.” He was given 16 months
