A MAN has been sentenced after he admitted smashing the window of an ambulance following a night out in Wrexham.
Kamil Stefanczuk, of Greenfield Road in Greenfield, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old admitted that on January 28, he damaged an ambulance window in Wrexham.
Prosecutor Justin Espie told the court that in a "reckless act," the defendant threw a glass bottle which struck and smashed the back window of the Events Medical Team vehicle, which had been parked in Town Hill.

Emma Simoes, defending, told the court that Stefanczuk had made admissions to his actions when interviewed by police.
He was of previous good character, she added.
District Judge Gwyn Jones told the defendant: "You'd been out in the town centre and it appears to me you had drunk far more than was good for you.

"You were not happy towards the end of the evening and foolishly picked up a bottle with a view to throwing it at a group of people you may have had a disagreement with.
"However the bottle hit the ambulance window, causing it to smash. The ambulance team was there to help."
The District Judge handed down a two-year conditional discharge, but ordered the defendant to pay £400 in compensation for the damage, as well as £85 in prosecution costs.
