Defendant in Bristol told police ‘I was just a drunk idiot’, court hears
Two men have pleaded guilty to violent disorder in Bristol city centre on Saturday night.
Mark Bowen, 40, of no fixed address, and Daniel Russell, 47, of Redfield, Bristol, appeared separately before Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Friday afternoon. Both admitted the single charge against them and were remanded in custody ahead of their sentencing hearing at Bristol Crown Court on August 14.
District Judge Lynne Matthews described how Bowen commented to police: “I didn’t even know what was going on, I don’t have social media, I was just a drunk idiot”.
The judge told Russell: “You will appear for your day of reckoning at the crown court at Bristol on Wednesday.”
