A man involved in a "Wild West" brawl in a Nelson pub was fined £50 by magistrates.

The court heard Jon Paul Fawcett, 21, and the other man said to be involved, Barry Simpson, threw punches at the Clayton Arms. When police arrived Fawcett, who works at Buoyant Upholstery, was highly agitated and drunk.

Fawcett, of Bracewell Street, Nelson, admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour. He must also pay £50 costs.

The bench issued a warrant not backed for bail for Barry Simpson, 21, of Brunswick Street.
