A 20-year-old has already paid $1644 for repairs after wrecking the sports fields at Christchurch's Burnside Park. Judge Couch said Carruth was with two others at the park late on August 4, when it had been raining and the ground was soft. Judge Couch imposed four months of community detention, with a nightly curfew, 100 hours of community work, and supervision for a year. He disqualified Carruth from driving indefinitely and said a zero-alcohol licence would apply when he got his licence back.
