Thomas Clark was told by Magistrate Bridget Shaw that he had “behaved in an appalling way” as he was sentenced to community service, a probation order and a ban from licensed premises for six separate offences.

The Magistrate’s Court heard that Clark committed the most recent offences in the space of three months.

St Helier Magistrate Paul Huelin, prosecuting, said the first offence happened on 11 November at the Royal Yacht when door staff refused him entrance.

“There was a heated verbal argument and some pushing and shoving,” Mr Huelin said.

Police officers attended the scene and told Clark to leave the area, but he failed to obey their instructions.

Mr Huelin added that on 13 January he was told to leave a private house by the householder but refused – and again refused when the police were summoned.

On 26 January he punched another man, hitting him on the side of the head. Later that evening he was found with cannabis and the class C drug diazepam.

Clark was also guilty of causing a breach of the peace by fighting the same night.

Advocate Julia-Anne Dix, defending, said Clark had been drinking at the time of all the offences and added: “When he is in drink he makes very silly choices.

“He is thoroughly embarrassed by his actions, and was mortified when he saw the police body-worn camera footage.”

She argued against a prison sentence, saying: “He is aware that the court’s patience is being tested, but he has never been sentenced to probation before.”

Passing sentence, the Magistrate told Clark: “When you get drunk you are vulnerable to behaving in a much worse way. You should have controlled your drinking.”

He was given 90 hours of community service and nine months of probation, as well as a nine-month ban from licensed premises.
