Honeymoon in cell for smoking

A bridegroom spent his wedding night in a police cell — after breaching a smoking ban at the reception.

Mark Phillips, 35, was told to stub out his cigarette after lighting up at a posh non-smoking golf club.

But he refused, saying: “I’ve paid £2,500 for this place, I can do what I like.” Staff called police after a scuffle broke out when he lit up a second cigarette.

He was arrested and locked up for the night.

Phillips, from Timsbury, Somerset, admitted threatening chef James Morrison and was fined £200 with £60 costs by Bath JPs.

The postman interrupted his honeymoon to appear in court.
