A TWENTY eight year old man who admitted attending a party in breach of Covid-19 restrictions last November is expected to be fined when he is sentenced later this year.
Aidan McAlister, of Grodians, Lerwick, refused to pay a fixed penalty notice when police attended a party at the town’s Mounthooly Street on 22 November last year.

Officers had attended the party at a flat within Chapel House in the early hours of the morning to find 17 people present – far exceeding the number permitted under the rules at that time.
Procurator fiscal Duncan Mackenzie said police were “met with a fair degree of hostility” and when they attempted to educate those present about Covid-19 rules they were “met with arguments”.
