A man had to pay more than £200 to get his car cleaned after his neighbour poured vegetable oil it during a long-running argument. Tony Glaister and his victim had been feuding for month before things boiled over in November last year.
A court heard that Glaister, 51, threw the contents of a bottle of water containing vegetable oil over the man's car. It cost £210 to be professionally cleaned.
Glaister, who hasn't been in trouble since 2008, found himself in the dock at Newcastle Magistrates' Court this week to face an allegation of criminal damage, which he pleaded guilty to. Prosecutor, Rob Lawson, said the offence happened on November 25 last year on School Row, in Prudhoe, reports ChronicleLive.
