A New Zealand man has appeared in court after he was arrested for 'stealing' a haircut following a drinking session.
Trevor Crampton, 56, from Hastings, told a judge he knew nothing of the offence until he looked in the mirror the following morning.
He appeared in Hastings District Court to plead guilty to one charge of obtaining a ÂŁ15 haircut by deception, reports Hawkes Bay Today.
Crampton admitted drinking heavily before entering a hair salon in Hastings, about 2pm. After being given a haircut, he told staff he didn't have any money.
Police arrived at the salon and said he "made no sense" when questioned.
Asked by Judge Bridget Mackintosh if he could explain his drunken antics, Crampton replied: "Actually the first I knew about it was the next morning when I looked in the mirror."
Judge Mackintosh said the incident was "traumatic" for the stylist. She fined him the equivalent of ÂŁ75, and ordered him to pay for the haircut.
