Alnwick man admits causing damage to Corn Exchange flat
An Alnwick man has admitting damaging a window in his flat by throwing plates.
Alex King, 27, pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal damage at the Corn Exchange when he appeared at Berwick Magistrates’ Court.
He also admitted a charge of assault by beating.
Prosecutor Brian Payne said: “There was a dispute between Mr King and his mother.
"He is seen on CCTV from within the curtilage of the Corn Exchange to push his mother. He is then seen by members of staff throwing plates through the window of his flat and damaging a window.
"His mother has not supported proceedings, but there is film of what happened.”
In mitigation, Ian O’Rourke said: “What is shown on CCTV is the defendant and defendant’s mother in conversation. She storms off down the corridor and then you see the defendant push her. It’s no more than that and there was no injury.”
Sentencing was adjourned until February 11 at Bedlington.
