A 49-year-old man and his nephew have avoided going straight to jail over a barroom brawl at an Ipswich hotel.
Andrew Witten and his 24-year-old nephew, Jake McKenna, appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday to face sentencing for the Pentahotel disturbance.
Witten had earlier pleaded guilty to affray, battery and assaulting a police officer, while McKenna admitted affray in relation to the same incident.
A third man, Harry Marney, was acquitted following a trial earlier this month.
According to prosecutor Michael Harrison, the brawl began after Witten was refused further service due to his level of intoxication in the early hours of November 24, 2018.
