Brit woman rams boyfriend's car into bowling alley over Facebook status

London, Apr 13 (ANI): A jilted lover in UK crashed her ex-boyfriend's car into the bowling alley where he worked after he changed his Facebook status to "single".

Claire Holley, 31, got drunk and ploughed through the glass doors in her ex's Ford Focus.

She came to rest against the reception desk where he worked, Bolton Crown Court heard.

Her former boyfriend, Davy Jones, the father of one of her two children, had earlier ended the relationship and changed his Facebook status to single.

Holley destroyed 14,000 pounds of equipment at the Hollywood Bowl at Middlebrook in Horwich, near Bolton, Greater Manchester, on January 25 this year.

She was sentenced to nine months in jail, suspended for two years, when she appeared at the court.

She was also banned from the road for 18 months for drink-driving.

Holley was also given a two-year community order with a four-month curfew between 8pm and 7am.

"It was extremely fortunate that no members of the public suffered serious harm as a result of her extraordinarily dangerous driving," Sky News quoted Nazir Afzal, chief crown prosecutor for the North West as saying.

"She drove her car at the public entrance to the bowling alley with reckless disregard as to what or who she would strike. The consequences could have been horrific.

"Using the car as a weapon is dangerous driving at its worst. The Crown Prosecution Service is dedicated to prosecute those who drive without regard for others," he added. (ANI)
