Cricketer given community service for driving offences
@Source: jerseyeveningpost.com
A JERSEY and Wellington cricketer has been sentenced to 130 hours of community service and given a £1,000 fine for driving offences. Nicholas Greenwood, who plays for Wellington and represents Jersey on the international stage, admitted to driving without insurance, failing to provide a specimen for analysis, and failing to comply with traffic directions last month. The offending happened after the inter-insular cricket match in June, when he had been in town celebrating with his team. At his indictment, Centenier Shirley Madden described how he had “white spittle in the corner of his mouth” and fell down stairs. He was taken to the police station, where he failed to produce a sample, she said. Advocate Julia-Anne Dix warned in June that Greenwood would lose his contract in New Zealand if he wasn’t able to return by early September – including if he was serving a community service order. Relief Magistrate Sarah Fitz gave Greenwood a 130-hour community service order for failing to provide a specimen, a £1,000 fine for driving without insurance, and no separate penalty for failing to comply with traffic directions. Greenwood was disqualified from driving for 36 months and will have to retake a Jersey driving test. If he doesn’t comply with the community service order, Greenwood could face 7 months in prison.
