Wetherspoons manager launched fire extinguisher out of window and collapsed on stranger's bed in drunken hotel rampage

A Wetherspoons manager who forced his way into a bewildered woman's hotel room and collapsed on her bed has been spared jail.

Callum Shepherd, a shift leader at one of the pub chain's branches in Liverpool's city centre, embarked on a drunken rampage that saw him volley fire extinguishers from a sixth-floor window at Z Hotel onto the adjacent street. He was also responsible for setting off a fire alarm during the frenzy, which took place in the early hours of the morning, forcing 100 guests to evacuate.

Liverpool Crown Court heard how the 23-year-old is now studying for his masters after achieving a first in biochemistry from Liverpool John Moores University while hoping to begin a PHD later this year. Shepherd was described as coming from a "good background" and having no previous convictions, the Liverpool Echo reports.
