THIS was the fight in a city centre fast food establishment which landed four men in the dock.

We reported earlier this week how the following individuals were sentenced for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour:

  • Paul Partington, aged 33 and of Atlea Estate in New Broughton
  • Andrew Peagram, aged 38 and of Cheshire View in Brymbo
  • Charlie Jones aged 18 and of Frances Avenue in Wrexham
  • Lewis Williams, aged 20 and of Whitegate Road in Wrexham 

Wrexham Magistrates Court heard that at around 3am on July 26, the fight broke out at McDonald's in Regent Street.

CCTV footage which was shown to the court during the sentencing has now been released to the Leader by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Rhian Jackson, prosecuting, told the court that Partington and Peagram, who were at the location together, engaged in a fight with the other two defendants.

It began when Williams remonstrated with one of the older males, following which Peagram started a fight with him.

Charlie Jones then joined in, as did Partington.

The footage shown to the court showed the chaotic scene, as punches were thrown and chairs were picked up.

A chair was taken outside the restaurant at one point, Ms Jackson said, as one of the defendants was chased down the road.

The court heard Charlie Jones was the only one not to have gotten involved in the fight which continued outside the restaurant.
