CCTV didn’t help an Oban man accused of being involved in a fight on George Street shortly before Christmas – because bunting was in front of the camera during the incident.
Oban Sheriff Court heard that Ewan MacCorquodale, 27, of Campbell Crescent, met former colleague Mark Penrose in the street and a ‘scuffle’ took place.
Penrose later complained to the police he had been punched on the face. While CCTV cameras caught MacCorquodale crossing the road to approach Mr Penrose on Saturday December 19, the video of the incident itself was obscured.
