A young Meden Vale man who damaged a pub door was brought before the courts when he failed to pay the £730 repair bill.

The landlord of the Crates and Grapes pub in Warsop saw Connor Bown kicking the front door at around 1.30am, on August 21, last year, magistrates were told.

He was originally cautioned on condition he paid compensation.

He made full admissions in his interviews and said he was trying to obtain keys from his partner as he thought she was inside.
