Ballymena man pleads guilty to being disorderly at hospital
A Ballymena man has pleaded guilty to being disorderly at Antrim Area Hospital.
The 40-year-old committed the offence on March 31.
Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, heard William Abernethy, of Orkney Drive, had been "highly intoxicated" and taken to hospital.
He was verbally abusive to police and swearing in a waiting area at the Emergency Department.
When cautioned for disorderly behaviour, a prosecutor said he told an officer: "Get the F out of my face you silly B."
The case was adjourned to December 17 for sentencing.
