Hi
Can anyone please give me some advice as my brother and I have been charged with affray.
The story go's.
We entered a pub, my brother got us a drink and I got us a table, we sat down.
We had a bottle of Jack Daniels with us in a bag, I went to the bar and asked the guy if we it would be ok if we drank some of our own drink? Silly I know! The guy said yes that's fine and handed me 2 glasses...
Anyway about an hour later some guy appeared at our table having a right go at us and there was another 2 guys standing at the bar glaring at us aswel.
We were quite drunk by now.
I got up and went over to the bar to find out why this guy came over and was having a go and before I knew it all hell broke out my brother was hitting one of the men that was glaring at us the guy that first came over tuned out to be the manager of the bar jumped over the bar gabbed a pool cue I put my arms in the air and he broke it across my side. Then I got hold of him and hit him quite a few times and so did my brother! What a mess! We both feel awful about the whole thing! Anyway we left the bar and we were walking home when the police pulled up and arrested us both and we were locked up for around 18 hrs.
Then we were both charged with affray.
My bother has never been in trouble for anything with the police before and I have never been in trouble for anything connected with violence before.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as we are both very worried about the possible out come. It's all on CCTV and I don't think it's going to make good viewing.
Will we go down for this???
