Birthday not all happy for host
THERE was some doubt about whether teenager Cassie Swanson had been invited to a birthday party in Thurso’s Sinclair St.
It led to an altercation, Wick Justice of the Peace Court heard today and resulted in Swanson slapping the host, Mark McGee. That wasn’t the end of the matter, for she left and complained to her brother, Glenn, that she had been “badly treated”.
He went round to the house to get to the bottom of the incident and grabbed Mr McGee by the throat.
Glenn Swanson (24) of Alemoore Crescent, Edinburgh, and 18-year-old Cassie Swanson who lives in Castlegreen Road, Thurso, admitted charges of assault, at a house in Sinclair Street, Thurso, on January 22. She had sentence deferred for six months to demonstrate she could behave, and her brother, who has a record, was fined £100.
