London: A veteran of
the Royal Air Force (RAF), the aerial warfare service branch of
the British military, has been fined 115 pounds ($180) for
urinating on a war memorial.
Colin Smith, 47, claimed he couldn't find a public loo at 1.20
a.m. after a night out drinking, the Sun reported Wednesday.
Magistrate Joan Fenwick told the former aircraft engineer: "Of all
people, I wouldn't have expected you to do that. It was
disgraceful."
The court, in Hartlepool, Teesside, heard how he swore at two cops
who caught him urinating on the town's memorial, which contains
the names of hundreds of war heroes.
Smith, from Exeter, Devon city, said: "I was in desperate need of
a wee. It wasn't malicious."
