A TEENAGER will have to shell out £1,000 after repeatedly booting a man on the head.

On Thursday at Alloa Sheriff Court, 18-year-old Aidan Rush was fined £500 for the assault, which took place in the town’s Bank Street on January 31 this year.

Sheriff David Mackie also ordered the accused to pay £500 compensation to the complainer.

Rush, of Carpenters Wynd in Alloa, was found guilty after a trial on October 4.

As reported in the Advertiser previously, Rush’s victim, McGregor Thomson, was also convicted on October 19 of assaulting the teen’s father.

Thomson had denied pushing John Rush on the body, seizing him by the clothing and pulling him down front door steps at an address in the town’s Carpenters Wynd on January 31 this year.

Throughout the trial the defence claimed that Thomson, 32, had went to the Rush household to speak to his attacker’s father to tell him about the assault.

According to Thomson. he “didn’t go down there for a rammy”. 
It was suggested that Mr Rush made up the assault claim after his own son was charged.

However, Justice of the Peace Mandy Shand found Mr Rush and his wife, Tracey, to be credible and reliable witnesses.

She found Thomson, of Kent Road in Alloa, guilty of the assault and fined him £250.
