Wow! 1 day in jail’s just fine

-

A JOBLESS man said “Wow” when told he would have €3,400 in fines written off in return for a day he spent in police cells.

James Barrett, 48, was hauled before Nottingham magistrate­s to explain why he had not paid the cash.

He said he was only two months out of jail and on unemployme­nt benefit.

District Judge Tim Devas told him: “You are probably trying to get back on your feet. Good luck.”
