A woman was concerned about a drink-driver and started to video him.

The offender was 22-year-old Brendon Neil who responded by grabbing the phone and snapping it over his knee.

Neil, of Clay Acres Court, Dunfermline, was almost four times over the limit on June 11 in Kelty.

He has now appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He admitted that at Beechbank Crescent and other roads in Kelty he drove a car having consumed excess alcohol.

His reading was 78 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the limit being 22 microgrammes.

At Beechbank Crescent he destroyed a woman’s property by grabbing her mobile phone and snapping it.

Depute fiscal Catherine Stevenson said Neil had turned up at a party to pick someone up.

However, a woman was concerned about the drunken state of him when he went back behind the wheel and started to video him on her phone.

Neil got out of his car, grabbed the phone and snapped it.

Defence solicitor Alexander Flett said: “He’d attended to pick up his partner but she was not ready to leave. He had stayed and consumed alcohol before making the foolish decision to drive.”

Sheriff Susan Duff told Neil his conduct had been “very stupid”.

She banned him for driving for a year, which can be reduced to nine months if he completes the drink-driver rehabilitation course.

She also fined him £220 and ordered him to pay £100 compensation for the damaged phone.
