Dappy given 6-month jail sentence
Quote:
N-Dubz rapper Dappy has been handed a six-month jail sentence and suspended for 18 months, for assault and affray over his brawl at a petrol station.
The 'No Regrets' star, who had faced a maximum of three years in prison, broke down in tears and shouted "yes" at Guildford Crown Court, according to Sky News.
Dappy - real name Costadinos Contostavlos - also has to pay £4,500 in compensation and £2,000 in costs after being found guilty of beating David Jenkins during the February 2012 fight last month.
The court heard during the nine-day trial that Dappy became angry after being snubbed by two 19-year-old girls at a Shell forecourt in Guilford, sparking a fight that involved several of the star's companions and left three men - including Jenkins, a bystander - severely injured.
Dappy had been cleared of two counts of common assault on the teens, Grace Cochran and Serena Burton, but the court heard that saliva with a DNA link to the musician was found on Jenkins's T-shirt after he apparently spat on him.
Co-defendant Kieran Vassell, 25, of Hammersmith, west London, was also found guilty of affray, while Alfred Miller, 28, of Brentford, west London pleaded guilty to affray.
A fourth defendant, Kalonji Stewart, 32, of Harborne, Birmingham, was found not guilty of the same offence. (source)
