Man disqualified from driving for two years after smashing into The Lawrence Arms - leaving gaping hole in building
A man has been disqualified from driving for two years after crashing a car into the side of The Lawrence Arms pub, which reopened today after months of repair work.
Alison Wearn and her husband Dev Wearn, the landlady and landlord, were asleep in the flat above the pub when the frightening incident took place.
A spokesperson for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said: ‘Razhan Issabad, 21, of Grosvenor Street, Portsmouth, pleaded guilty to driving dangerously, failing to stop after a road accident, driving without insurance and driving without a licence. He was sentenced at Portsmouth Magistrates Court on April 17. He received a 16-week suspended sentence, and was ordered to do 80 hours of unpaid work and pay costs of £239. He was disqualified from driving for two years.’
