Music complaint lands two in court

Two people from Douglas have been fined a total of £1,800 after loud music ended with a court appearance for resisting police.

30 year old Shaun Anthony Ward of Bayr Cam and 28 year old Anne Marie Laughlin of Keppel Road admitted one charge each when they appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes this week.

The court heard they'd struggled with officers who asked them to turn the music down at Laughlin's home on August 7 last year.

Laughlin was fined £800 and Ward £1,000 - both were ordered to pay £100 compensation and £125 costs and banned from buying alcohol for four months.
