Drunk man was barefoot and bare-chested with his trousers inside out after attending a birthday party in Antrim
A drunk man who was barefoot and bare-chested and had trousers on inside out, was disorderly in the Springfarm area of Antrim town.
Artur Nogaj (32), of Larchfield in Antrim, committed the offence on March 29 this year. He had 22 previous convictions.
A prosecutor told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, the defendant had been drunk and was banging on the door of a property in the Mull Road area.
On arrival "police observed the defendant had no top on, trousers inside out and he was barefoot".
Police spoke to him and police "retrieved his T-shirt, shoes and jacket from the occupants of a property on Mull Road and gave them back to the defendant".
He was "agitated" and shouting and proceeded to "throw the clothes around the street".
A defence solicitor said Nogaj had been at a birthday party and had been drinking and "ended up on the street without any shirt or shoes on and that is why he was banging on the door to retrieve his property". He "made a fool of himself" and wished to apologise.
District Judge Nigel Broderick said the defendant keeps coming before court "every few years".
Nogaj has now received a three months prison term, suspended for one year.
