[A] MAN jailed for going on a alcohol-fuelled wrecking spree has had his prison sentence overturned.
Stuart Luke Robert Brown, 22, was said to have been “extremely drunk” when he damaged a shop window, several vehicles and a set of electric gates in the early hours of April 2 after leaving a Maryport pub.
The respective property owners were left footing bills which totalled just under £900.
Brown admitted five criminal damage charges, and was locked up for eight weeks by magistrates last week.
He lodged an appeal against that sentence which was heard at Carlisle Crown Court today (FRI).
Brown, of Arkleby, near Aspatria, was said to have employment on trawlers off the west coast open to him if he was not behind bars.
In view of his good work record, the jail sentence was overturned and replaced with a £500 fine.
Brown must also pay £897.76 compensation in respect of the damage caused.
