Future Darwin award contender - drunken prank causes $200K damage to bar

Sprinkler prank caused nearly $200,000 damage

Christchurch’s Holy Grail sports bar and its insurers may have have to take civil action to get full payment for nearly $200,000 damage caused when a drunken student set off a sprinkler.

Hayden Niels Nikolaison, 19, has borrowed $5000 from his parents to make some reparation payment and that bank cheque was brought to the Christchurch District Court for his sentencing today.
