A MALVERN man who caused damage to a hotel sign has told Worcester magistrates he has since grown up.
Matthew Johnson, 24, appeared at court yesterday and admitted criminal damage under £50.
Johnson, of Wells Road, had been drinking with friends when he damaged a sign belonging to Cotford Hotel in Graham Road, Malvern.
Johnson, representing himself, said: "I've grown up and I'm more settled."
The bench ordered Johnson to pay a £100 fine, £400 compensation to the hotel, £60 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
