'I can't come to court - my hair is a mess'

[Champ]

A Red-faced defendant has been allowed to appear before a Swansea court wearing a baseball cap after receiving a haircut from hell.

Darren Brock had woken from a drunken sleep in the barber's chair two days earlier to find a horror image staring back at him from the mirror. He was so upset about the way he looked, he refused to attend court yesterday to answer a summons for being found drunk six months earlier.

Sympathetic magistrates decided against having him arrested for non-attendance.

Instead, they suspended the usual court rules of etiquette and allowed him to attend later in the day wearing a cap to hide his embarrassment.
