A 23-year-old man who skipped out on paying a restaurant bill in Park Gate has been set a curfew by magistrates.
Anthony John Wotton left TGI Friday’s intentionally to avoid paying the £238.40 food and drinks bill.
Wotton of Woolston Road, Netley Abbey, changed his plea to guilty when he appeared before Portsmouth magistrates for the offence which occurred on December 23 last year.
Wotton also pleaded guilty for failing to surrender to Fareham Magistrates’ Court, having been released on bail in criminal proceedings on January 1 at Portsmouth Central Police Station.
Wotton was sentenced to a curfew for 90 days to remain at his home between 6pm and 6am on an electronically monitored tag. He was also ordered to pay £238.40 compensation to the restaurant.
