    But the ex-world super-middleweight champion was found not guilty of aggravated vehicle taking. </p>

    Eubank told Brighton magistrates the lorry blocked his way when he took his children to school. </p>

    He was given an absolute discharge. The court had heard claims that Eubank, of Upper Drive, Hove, had threatened to &quot;deck&quot; the lorry driver. </p>

    The court heard from Scottish Courage employee Gary Chandler who claimed Eubank ran at him, swore and started a row before entering the cab. </p>

    Several drivers were beeping their horns while the 35ft-long truck was being unloaded in February, the court heard. </p>

    It was claimed that Eubank was told the delivery was nearly finished, but he jumped into the cab, drove the lorry 150 yards along the road and hit a sign. </p>

    Prosecutor Madeleine Reardon said Eubank had told his children that what he did was wrong. </p>

    She told the court he had admitted getting into the vehicle and driving and had claimed &quot;it was the gentlemanly thing to do&quot;. </p>

    Ms Reardon also claimed Eubank had said he did not remember causing damage but did offer to pay for it. </p>

    Eubank was ordered to pay £450 court costs. </p>

    He was also given six points on his driving licence in relation to a charge of driving without insurance which he had previously admitted at another hearing. </p>

    And he was fined £90 in relation to fixed penalty notices incurred earlier this year. </p>

    Speaking outside court, Eubank, said he was pleased with the outcome. </p>

    &quot;You can't get a better result than that,&quot; he said. </p>

    &quot;What I did was right. They were wrong...if I had paid any penalty at all it would have been sad. </p>

    &quot;We all have to police the community. If you don't it's only a matter of time before we are taken advantage of by people who are bullies.&quot; </p>

    Asked if he would do the same again, he replied: &quot;Absolutely...no matter what the result.&quot; </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table></p>

    lol

    The council workers left a wagon blocking my Mum's car in at her house while they went for their lunch. I nicked it and parked it up out of view about 200 yards away round a corner.

    You should have seen the muppet's face when they returned.
