Man on prison release licence was disorderly in Antrim town
A man who was disorderly in Antrim town has been ordered to do 120 hours of Community Service.
David Fletcher (31), of Brantwood Gardens in Antrim, committed an offence at Ballymena Road on November 26 last year.
Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, was told the defendant was a passenger in a vehicle. He was "highly intoxicated" and continually shouted at police.
He was given "multiple" warnings to calm down and stop swearing and was arrested. He was verbally abusive throughout the journey to a police station.
The defendant is on prison release licence until next year for previous offending and a defence lawyer acknowledged being returned to jail was "on a knife edge".
