A man admitted putting motorists in danger by hurling objects from a bridge.

Curtis Pennells threw a brick and bottles from the bridge on to Hoath Way, Hempstead, on July 30.

As well as admitting causing danger to road users by obstructing the road he pleaded guilty to damaging a Ford Fiesta car belonging to Jean Rothery.

Andrew Spencer, 24, denied those charges but admitted causing danger to road users by interfering with a bus on the same date.

Pennells, of Cecil Road, Rochester, further admitted stealing a box of beer from the Coop at Hempstead.

He and Spencer, of Tonbridge Road, Maidstone, admitted stealing four bottles of alcohol from Fairview off-licence, Wigmore. They both denied stealing a bike.

Spencer denied racially aggravated harassment but admitted damaging a Vauxhall Zafira car and a police cell van and assaulting a PC. He denied assaulting Jodie Franks.

Spencer will stand trial on the charges he denies after January 11. Pennells will be sentenced afterwards.

John Fitzgerald, for Pennells, said his client had not been sent to custody before. He said alcohol was at the root of Pennells’ behaviour.

Both Pennells and Spencer were remanded in custody.
