[edit] 2010 Court Case
On August 15, 2010 he handed himself in to police following a collision between his BMW Z4 and a pedestrian who suffered head injuries. He was bailed the same day.[4] Two days later it was reported that the man, 18-year-old Oliver Flint, had suffered bleeding to the brain and had lost all of his sight in one eye and most of his sight in the other eye.[5] On November 3 the Crown Prosecuters ruled that Elliott had acted in self defence.[6] He pleaded guilty to driving without insurance during the car accident and was fined £850 and given 6 penalty points on his licence.[7]
Tittensor was assaulted as he left court by Oliver's father, John Flint[8], who was arrested on the spot.[6][9]
