Bedding crash man admits guilt
Published: 01 September 2009
Although it was no doubt hard for the man to deny, one gentleman has admitted to driving his car into a branch of Tesco as a means of settling an issue of missing bedding in May.
An infamous Andover man has admitted to his part in a crash which saw his car breaking through the side of a Tesco store in Hampshire after an argument formed over bedding.Robert Caton, a disgruntled 50-year-old, had a bed delivered but it lacked a mattress, causing the middle-aged man to become rather aggrieved.
Mr Caton jumped into his 1983 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit and ploughed into the side of the Andover shop, clearing the 15ft into the store and completely destroying two of the cashier desks.
A handful of people were taken to hospital with minor injuries, ranging from cuts and bruises to shock.
The driver admitted to his failure in providing a specimen of breath as well as dangerous driving, though he denied another charge of causing criminal damage reckless as to whether life was endangered, which the prosecution then dropped.
It is believed that Mr Caton was intoxicated at the time of the bedding-based crash.
Mary Raimo, a grandmother from Scotland, recently announced that she was to sue Tesco after being hit on the head by a pineapple as she browsed the fruit aisle of the superstore.
