It had all the hallmarks of a great night out: good food, good wine, good company.

But Horsley husband Christopher Chand managed to make the evening of April 12 this year memorable for all the wrong reasons, after a scheme to extend the evening and land him some action between the bed sheets left him with a furious wife and a date at Port Kembla Court House.

The evening started off well enough: Chand's wife had asked if the pair could go to Dapto Leagues Club for a night out.

Chand agreed to the request, despite having worked all day and having just returned from the gym.

To ensure he stayed awake long enough to enjoy the night, Chand decided to pop one of his Ritalin pills, prescribed to him to treat his diagnosed ADHD.
