A thug who smashed his neighbour's windows, armed with a golf club, celebrated outside of court.
Darryl Jones, 57, was arrested after threatening to smash a neighbour's windows in Claremont Road, Seaforth but a month later actually smashed the windows and waved a golf club around. His lawyer told Liverpool Magistrates’ Court he had initially acted in retaliation following false accusations of burglary, and the second occasion he wrongly believed his neighbour, Salam Hassan, had smashed his windows.
Philip Lea, defending, said: "He accepts there is no excuse for the way he behaved and he should not have taken matters into his own hands. Anger got the better of him."
