Fined for embassy bombardment
A Baerum man received fines for bombarding the US embassy in downtown Oslo with snowballs. Oslo Court ruled that the man pay NOK 5,000 (USD 700) as a fine and NOK 2,000 (USD 280) in court costs for his wintry aggression.
Deputy Judge Frode Hanssen cited aggravating circumstances since the man had two earlier fines for similar offenses.
The 34-year-old had had a bit too much too drink a few weekends ago, and decided to fire loose on the US embassy and its police guards. He followed up the snowball offensive by trying to scale the embassy fence and was apprehended by police.
The offender refused to pay a fine and took the case to court before being convicted of disturbing the peace while intoxicated.
