Court: Chorley woman admits deliberately damaging sign at Preston's Slug and Lettuce pub

A Chorley woman has been ordered to pay £228 after damaging a pub sign.

Laura Bridgette Kilgarriff, 34, of Bowland Avenue, pleaded guilty to criminal damage, in that she deliberately damaged the door sign – valued at £15 – at the Slug and Lettuce in Church Street, Preston on November 10, 2022.

In a hearing held at Preston Magistrates’ Court, Miss Kilgarriff also admitted that in damaging the sign, she was in breach of a 12-month conditional discharge order for a previous drunk and disorderly offence.

That offence took place in St Austin’s Road, Preston, in March 2022, and she was fined a total of £228 in June 2022.
