A MAN who caused more than £1,600 worth of damage to cars during a Buckfast-fuelled bender has been sentenced to a curfew.

Jordan Hopkins, 22, drunkenly vandalised five different vehicles on May 14 in Irvine’s St Kilda Bank – causing £1,640 worth of damage.

Kilmarnock Sheriff Court heard how witnesses saw Hopkins pulling the wing mirror off a black Peugeot 207 at around 11pm.

Thereafter Hopkins picked up a plant pot and threw it at the same vehicle causing the windscreen to smash.

Hopkins then kicked the vehicle’s door causing £610 worth of damage in the process.

He then turned his attention to a silver Peugeot 206, pulling the car’s offside mirror. However, the cost of damage was unknown.

Hopkins was also seen walking past a grey Kia Picanto and again pulling the vehicle’s wing mirror. This was said to cause around £299 worth of damage.

The most substantial damage caused by Hopkins’ drunken rampage was to a white Volkswagen Transporter.

Hopkins threw a concrete roof tile, stolen from a nearby property, at the vehicle causing £681 worth of damage.

Roof tiles were thrown at another vehicle causing £50 in damage.

Police were eventually called and on arrival, they found Hopkins being physically restrained by members of the public.

After being arrested and searched, officers discovered a metal knuckle duster in the right hand pocket of Hopkins’ jeans. He was not cautioned and charged due to his state of intoxication.

Hopkins, of Warden House, Gatehead, returned to Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Monday, July 20 after previously pleading guilty.

Defence solicitor David Simpson revealed that Hopkins, a first offender, had attended his partner’s house nearby heavily under the influence having drank a “large quantity” of Buckfast.

When he spoke with his partner, he was asked to leave, which Mr Simpson said Hopkins felt “aggrieved” by but in no way excused his behaviour.

Mr Simpson added that Hopkins regularly works as a roofer but recently lost his job, causing him to live off his parents.

However, Mr Simpson assured presiding Sheriff Derek Livingston that Hopkins was actively looking for work.

Hopkins was sentenced to two years supervision, ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and given a restriction of liberty order requiring him to remain in his home between 7pm and 7am.

Sheriff Livingston also stated that should Hopkins find employment, his Community Payback Order may be varied to reduce his hours of unpaid work and a compensation order may be imposed.
