News / Back in court
AN UNEMPLOYED Shetland teenager who was fined for assault last week was back in court yesterday (Monday) pleading guilty to the same charge.
Eighteen year old Daniel Ewan, of 25 Ladies Drive, Lerwick, admitted pushing a woman to the ground at a disco at Mid Yell public hall on Saturday night, when he appeared from custody at Lerwick Sheriff Court. Sheriff Philip Mann adjourned the case for reports.
Last Wednesday Sheriff Graeme Napier fined Ewan £500 and ordered him to pay £300 compensation after he pled guilty to assaulting two men in Lerwick last December. The sheriff then deferred the sentence for two weeks to allow him to come up with “a sensible proposal” for paying the fines.
A 17 year old man was also arrested on Saturday night at Mid Yell hall in an unrelated assault, which is the subject of a separate report to the procurator fiscal.
