Man Jailed after Glass Attack
A young man was jailed for 16 months yesterday, after he admitted leaving a stranger scarred for life following a disagreement over pool. Mark Neville objected to being called a "hustler" after winning three games of pool in a row and took out his anger at his opponent by striking the man on the face with a pint glass. His victim was left with a circular scar on his face. In sentencing Neville, Sheriff Michael Fletcher said, "This is the third occasion on which you have been involved in an assault with a weapon. Someone with three convictions such as these cannot expect anything other than a custodial sentence".
