In a hearing he admitted criminal damage and assault but a charge of making off without payment was dropped.

The bench said custody was necessary because it was and offence against a “public servant” which was committed in alcohol.

He also had a previous criminal record that aggravated the offences.

He must pay a £115 surcharge, the court ruled.
