A judge asked members of a skittles league what he should do with their former treasurer who stole thousands of pounds in charity money from them. And after the judge was told the consensus was the fraudster should be sent to jail, that's exactly where the judge sent him for 10 months.
Paul Brewster was treasurer at Yatton and District Summer Skittles League, Bristol Crown Court heard. But when he was asked why no charitable cheques had been sent out he said he had taken all of it but would try to pay it back.
After a letter sent to Brewster regarding a repayment plan was ignored, police were called in and he was arrested. It transpired he had helped himself to some £7,500 which he spent in supermarkets, shops, pubs and cafes.
