Guilty pleas from trio involved in petrol station fight

Three people from Douglas will be sentenced in November after starting a fight in a petrol station.

22-year-old Rachel Elizabeth Hall, of Samuel Webb Crescent, and 23-year-old Lee Paul Dodd, of Oak Avenue, both pleaded guilty to affray at Douglas Courthouse on Tuesday.

20-year-old Leah Dale, of Woodbourne Road, admitted using provoking behaviour - and two separate charges of possession of Class B and Class C substances.

Police were called to the EVF filling station on Peel Road just after 3am on August 23 rd - the trio had been fighting in the shop; footage of the incident was shared on social media.

The court heard the two women had begun verbally and physically fighting with each other - Dodd then attacked another man who was in the shop at the time.

He punched the man in the face repeatedly and was said to throw him around the store and into shelving - £350 worth of stock was damaged as a result.

Social enquiry reports have been requested before the trio is sentenced on November 13 th - all three have been bailed until that date.
