Former Carlisle United winger Kyle Dempsey is handed 12 month suspended sentence for assault
The attack is said to have taken place just before 11 pm, shortly after Bolton played Carlisle at Brunton Park in a pre-season game.
A Bolton Wanderers footballer has been given a 12 month suspended prison sentence at Carlisle Crown Court.
Kyle Dempsey and his dad, former rugby league pro Michael Dempsey, had both previously admitted assaulting doorman Daryl Jarvis, causing him actual bodily harm, while he was working at Maryport Labour Club in July last year.
The attack is said to have taken place just before 11 pm, shortly after Bolton played Carlisle at Brunton Park in a pre-season game.
Jarvis was left with a cut to his head, bruised ribs, a suspected broken nose and chipped teeth following the assault.
The pair have sought to explain their criminal conduct in a court document known as a basis of plea. Their legal team have said this basis amounts to the contention that self-defence by both men was a “excessive”.
He'd previously dismissed their admission, with prosecutors arguing that the pairs conduct is much more serious than they are willing to accept.
