A PUB-goer damaged more than £300 worth of Christmas decorations and assaulted a police officer, a court heard.

Corin Thompson, of High Kepplewray, Broughton, pleaded guilty to criminal damage, which also involved fire extinguishers, and assaulting Stephen McKenna following the incident on December 22 at Wetherspoons in Barrow.

The 23-year-old committed the offences while on a suspended sentence for possession of controlled drugs and having a sharp article in a public place. He will now be sentenced at Preston Crown Court on March 15.
