Suspended prison sentence for Wigan man who assaulted security guard

Peter Howarth, 28, of Wesley Street, Pemberton, attacked John Hayworth on April 15.

A judge at Bolton Crown Court has now imposed a 36-week prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Howarth must also complete 150 hours of unpaid work, 20 days of rehabilitation activities and nine months of alcohol treatment.

He had already been cleared of assaulting nurse Paul Bullough, when no evidence was offered by the prosecution.
