Footballer Jevani Brown has been fined £5,000 for assaulting one woman and using threatening behaviour to another during a drunken incident outside a nightclub in Exeter.
The Bristol Rovers player got involved in an argument with the two women outside Vaults in Gandy Street, a court heard. He has now apologised for his drunken actions.
He spat at and slapped one woman twice and caused the second to fear violence would be used against her. Brown, who had not previously met the women, appeared in the dock at Exeter Magistrates' Court on Friday to be sentenced for the two offences.
