A couple who had sex so loudly in a hotel room on Valentine's Day that staff had to call police have been ordered to pay £1,000 - some of which will be used to compensate the guests. Jamie Boultbee and Kaylie Hursthouse were interrupted by police after booking a room at the Moorlands Izaak Walton Hotel on February 14.
Staff called police because of the noise from the room and officers who arrived were handed a key to let themselves in. They found Hursthouse drunk, and damage had been caused to the bathroom door.
The couple pleaded guilty to criminal damage and were made to hand over £500 each, reports StokeonTrentLive.
Prosecutor Karen Wright said police received a call from the hotel just after midnight on February 15. Miss Wright said the pair had been warned multiple times about the noise.
She said: "The police arrived. They were let in by another guest who had been woken by the noise. Night staff had gone up to the troublesome room to speak to people in there. The police were escorted to Room 25, where the parties were. It was clear they were causing a noise nuisance and disturbance.
"There was no reply to knocking on the door. Police were given a key and entered the room.
"Hursthouse was heavily intoxicated and smelt of alcohol. She was slurring her words and was unsteady on her feet. Boultbee was lying in bed. Hursthouse said the reason for the noise was them having rough sex."
The hotel said £1,000 damage had been caused - and that £250 of that was to cover compensation the hotel had had to give to people in three other rooms.
Mike Kimberley, representing Boultbee, of Branston Road, Burton, said his client, who has 33 previous convictions for 65 offences, is an alcoholic.
Mr Kimberley said: "The young lady saw he was suffering from depression and thought it was a good idea to go away for a romantic night. They were totally inebriated, angry and whatever."
Mark Bromley, mitigating for Hursthouse, of Sycamore Road, Burton, said: "Unfortunately this planned romantic over-exuberant intimacy caused a disturbance for other residents of the hotel.
"She also accepts that she should pay towards the problems that were caused. They spent nearly £200 for this break away for two days. They had to cut their stay short because of the incident."
Magistrates handed Boultbee a 12 month conditional discharge and Hursthouse was given a six month conditional discharge. Both were ordered to pay £500 compensation, £135 costs and a £26 surcharge.
