A student who hosted a lockdown rule-breaking house party in Nottingham has become one of the first people in the country to pay a £10,000 super-fine.
Police said the 20-year-old is also the first person in the city to pay the sum - which is more than enough to cover an entire year s tuition.
The third-year Nottingham Trent University student was handed a fixed penalty notice (FPN) after officers were called to a gathering at an address in Lenton on October 20 - where they discovered more than 30 people hiding in breach of coronavirus rules.
At the time, police reported that students attending the party told officers they were spoiling our fun by breaking up the event on the eve of Tier 3 lockdown restrictions being imposed.
