And finally… homeward bound

A 26-year old man from Fintona drove home from court - after receiving a driving ban.

Martin Czernicki re-appeared in Enniskillen Magistrates Court this week after he was spotted driving within hours of being disqualified until 2017.

Defence solicitor Michael Fahy admitted that the “ink on the order sheet was hardly dry” when he went back on the road.

District Judge Bernie Kelly said it was “probably the most blatant disregard for a court order I have come across in a long time”.

She added: “It is hard to put in to actual words your actions after the sentence was imposed. You walked straight out of court into the actual vehicle.”

He has been jailed for three months and banned from driving for a year.
