AN UNEMPLOYED man used his drunk friend to try to attack door staff, a court heard.

Richard Seddon, 21, was in Christopher's in Newland with a female friend when door staff asked her to leave because she had been sick inside.

Seddon was asked to go and take care of her, Lincoln Magistrates' Court heard yesterday.

Daniel Poulson, prosecuting, said: "He picked up the female and moved to throw her towards the door staff.

"He started swinging her to try and hit door staff with her."

The staff managed to get him away from the woman before police arrived.

Seddon, of Burwell Close, Lincoln, told police in interview he was drunk and had no memory of the incident, but was trying to protect his friend, the court heard.

He pleaded guilty to using threatening behaviour.

Leo Pyle, mitigating, said: "He accepts the facts, his recollection is clouded by the alcohol he consumed."

Seddon was fined £100, will have to pay a £16 Government surcharge and also £85 prosecution costs.


Maybe groups of more than one should be banned from pubs incase they start using each other as weapons

How the f**k does he know he was trying to protect her if he has no memory.
What the hell was he protecting her from.
And swinging her at someone is the opposite of protecting her.

Very true I think from now on we should ask to hold their girl friends at the door whilst they're inside!

The best form of defence is a good attack! Though I do wonder how big an eveidence bag your gonna need to hold that one!
