DROPPING a cigarette butt cost a local man almost £500.
James Fletcher, 32, was given a fixed penalty notice by Barnsley Council following the incident outside Morrisons, Cortonwood, last July. However, due to a lack of payment court proceedings were launched against Fletcher, of Ingsfield Lane, Bolton-upon-Dearne. He was fined £220, told to pay a surcharge of £88 and court costs of £160, totalling £468.
A MAN who failed to keep up with the requirements of a court order has been re-sentenced. Steven Bottom, of Thornwell Grove, Cudworth, admitted to failing to attend unpaid work appointments. The 52-year-old was re-sentenced at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court last week and was told to carry out a total of 95 hours of unpaid work over the next 12 months.
A MOTHER who failed to ensure her child attended school has been fined. Kayleigh Bushnell, of Ingsfield Lane, Bolton-upon-Dearne, admitted the offence. The 37-year-old was told to pay £131.
A WOMAN who committed a further crime whilst serving a suspended prison sentence will appear at Sheffield Crown Court in April. Leanne Brooke, of Milgate Street, Royston, admitted the breach at a hearing held at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court this week. The 36-year-old will be re-sentenced on April 23.
