A MAN has been ordered to pay out more than £900 after a trip to his mother's home ended in custody.

Piotr Keilar, of Cefn Road in Wrexham, was produced in custody at Mold Magistrates Court on Thursday.

The 39-year-old admitted that on Tuesday, he entered premises in contravention of a closure order, as well as damaging a police vehicle.

Rhian Jackson, prosecuting, told the court that the city centre property - where his mother lives - was made the subject of a three-month closure order in March.

Officers attended the address on Tuesday and were told Keilar had been there.

The occupant was reminded that nobody was to be allowed inside.
When they re-attended a few hours later, they found the defendant inside and arrested him.

On his way to custody, he spat at the dividing screen in the police car, requiring it to be cleaned.

During his interview with police, Keilar told officers his mother had difficulties walking and asked him to go and get her some shopping, which he did.

But he stayed at her home and had some drinks.

He did leave the property, but later returned when realising he'd left his phone; which is when police caught him.

Keilar apologised for spitting at the screen, saying he couldn't recall why he'd done it.

Chris Clark, defending, told the court: "His mother is constantly ringing him asking for help, which he does when he can.

"He had gone there that day following such a call and he accepts that while he was there he had rather too much to drink.

The Leader:

"He says in relation to the damage caused to the police car, he was frustrated that he was being arrested in such circumstances and he does accept that in that frustration, he damaged the car.

"To his credit, he was fully apologetic to police when he was interviewed."

The court issued Keilar with a fine of £293 for each offence, and ordered him to pay £234 by way of a victim surcharge, £85 costs and £36.93 compensation to North Wales Police.
