A jilted lover crashed her ex-boyfriend's car into the bowling alley where he worked after he changed his Facebook status to "single", a court heard.

Spurned Claire Holley, 31, got drunk and ploughed through the glass doors in her ex's Ford Focus.





She came to rest against the reception desk where he worked, Bolton Crown Court heard.

Her former boyfriend, Davy Jones, the father of one of her two children, had earlier ended the relationship and changed his Facebook status to single, the court heard.

Holley destroyed £14,000 of equipment at the Hollywood Bowl at Middlebrook in Horwich, near Bolton, Greater Manchester, on January 25 this year.

She admitted at an earlier hearing to driving dangerously, drink-driving and two assaults on police officers as she was restrained.

The defendant was sentenced to nine months in jail, suspended for two years, when she appeared at the court.

She was also banned from the road for 18 months for drink-driving.

Holley was also given a two-year community order with a four-month curfew between 8pm and 7am.

Geoff Whelan, prosecuting, told the court Holley and Mr Jones had been in a two-year relationship and had one child together.
