A DRUNKEN Stourport man head-butted a telephone box after being denied entry to a pub, a court heard.

David Case admitted being drunk and disorderly and failing to turn up to court.

Worcester magistrates were told that the 19-year-old, of Power Station Road, Stourport, hit the telephone kiosk in The Cross, Worcester, at about 11.15pm on Thursday, November 11.

David Jackson, defending, said Case had "alcohol-related" problems that were being addressed.

He had not visited the court as soon as he could after his previous appearance was excused because he expected a notice about the date of the next hearing. Magistrates fined him a total of £125 and ordered him to pay £55 costs.
