Scottish dad and son smash into five cars and attack two people in drunken frenzy

A son whose pub brawl and firebomb threats led to his father smashing cars worth £200,000 on their drunken getaway drive has escaped punishment.

Garage manager Leslie Amos drunkenly crashed into five cars including a Porsche 911 Black Edition after going to rescue his unruly son Ryan Amos, 22. Ryan Amos got out of the badly damaged car and attacked two innocent passers-by who had tried to intervene to stop the drunken post-pub rampage.

But Sheriff George Way allowed Amos Jnr to walk free from court by admonishing him after being told he had stayed out of trouble since the incident. Amos Jnr admitted two charges of assault and acting in an abusive manner at the pub, refusing to leave, and threatening to burn the property down.
