Drunk man was ‘most violent in gang’
A MAN arrested for being drunk and disorderly outside Colne police station struck again soon afterwards.
Burnley Magistrates heard how Anthony Fitzpatrick, 23, was involved in an altercation outside a pub on Keighley Road, Colne, and was said by the police to be the most violent in the gang.
He was seen throwing punches towards staff members and shouted and made threats as police approached.
He fell to the floor and was immediately arrested.
Fitzpatrick had earlier been given a conditional discharge for the incident outside the police station.
The defendant, of River Street, Colne, admitted being drunk and disorderly on January 27.
Fitzpatrick, who is awaiting an operation, told the bench: "I can't believe I have done it again. It's stupid."
He was fined £250 after admitting being drunk and disorderly in breach of the discharge and must pay £15 victim surcharge.
