He damaged the spire and kicked pieces of stone off the roof
His Honour Judge Sean Morris was due to sentence the father-of-two, who has pleaded guilty to criminal damage, at a hearing today but said there was “a constructive way forward”.The judge told Webster he will be given a suspended prison sentence at a hearing in six months, if he attends all of his appointments with mental health professionals, does not get arrested and remains sober.
The judge said Webster, who has previous convictions for criminal damage and robbery, has already served a three-year prison sentence for another offence but that “didn’t seem to work”. “Next time, and there will be a time when you are feeling overwhelmed, sit down, talk to somebody – talk to your family – do not act on impulse. Don’t you dare commit a criminal offence.Eddison Flint, who represents Webster, said his client is “truly sorry” for causing so much damage to “a notable piece of York history” and feels “great shame”,
He said Webster was suicidal and he would have ended his own life if his brother had not arrived on the scene and helped to talk him down.“This is a young man who has an awful lot of demons he is trying to manage on a daily basis,” he told the court.
