Delay in a court case being dealt with saved a convicted drugs courier from jail.
Roger Davidson was caught with two kilos of cannabis on the M5 near Bristol in November 2019.
The fight occurred in the street outside The Hawthorne pub on Orford Lane, Warrington. A FLINTSHIRE man who threw away his shirt mid-fight and brandished a tyre wrench has been spared an immediate prison sentence following a successful appeal. Bernie Sweeney was involved in a heated altercation with a family member in the middle of the street outside The Hawthorne pub on Orford Lane, Warrington. The pair had to be separated by onlookers and police were forced to use incapacitant spray to bring the fight to a close. The 30-year-old was originally handed a six-month spell in prison at Warrington Magistrates’ Court on March 5 after pleading guilty to charges of possession of an offensive weapon and threatening behaviour.
