The men had to surrender their passports
A member of an international touring dance troupe and an islander have each been fined £900 for disorderly conduct outside a Guernsey hotel.

Chippendales dancer Steve Kader, 37, of Florida and Gerry Pope, 26, of Guernsey admitted carrying out the offence at the Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

An alternative charge of assault was dismissed by the magistrate.

Another member of the troupe, Jeremiah Patton, 26, of North Carolina, was cleared of both charges.

The dancers surrendered their passports after being charged with assault and disorderly behaviour.

It followed an incident at the Carlton Hotel at the weekend in which a man was injured.

The group performed at the Barbados Beach Club on 24 August, before travelling to the Isle of Man.
