News from the courts
A woman has appeared in court after being arrested when she failed to turn up for her trial.
Hannah Thomson, aged 35, of Tromode House, Douglas, was due to face a trial on Monday (December 14) after pleading not guilty to a charge of vagrancy.
However, she didn’t turn up despite being bailed to appear on that date.
She was found guilty by magistrates in her absence and then arrested after a warrant was issued.
Thomson appeared in court on Tuesday and claimed that on her last court appearance, magistrates had told her they ’would not be concerned’ if she didn’t attend the trial.
