AN offender has been handed a fine by the courts for his involvement in a huge disturbance at a hotel.

Warrington Magistrates’ Court previously heard that the incident at the Villaggio Hotel in Bewsey reportedly involved more than 200 participants.

Cheshire Police dispatched a large number of officers to the scene on Folly Lane at around 10.45pm on Friday, November 26 last year – arriving ‘within minutes’.

Six suspects – three men and three women aged between 20 and 30 – arrested at the scene, including Dillon Stokes.

The 21-year-old was subsequently charged with threatening behaviour and common assault of an emergency worker and he was sentenced at Crewe Magistrates’ Court on Monday, November 28.

On a previous occasion, the court heard that fighting had been a ‘large scale incident’, however no reports of any injuries were received by the force.

According to the charges that Stokes was convicted on, he used ‘threatening, abusive or disorderly words or behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress’.

He also assaulted a police officer acting in the exercise of his functions as such an emergency worker.

Stokes, of Middlemarch Road in Coventry, pleaded guilty to both charges and was fined £140 by magistrates.

He was also ordered to pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service of £120 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £34.
