21-year-old must also pay compensation
A Douglas man who punched a security officer in the face, after being ejected from a bar, has been ordered to carry out unpaid work for the good of the community.
Rhys Robert Brown, of Springfield Avenue, assaulted the man after repeatedly trying to re-enter Jaks Bar and Smokehouse on 6 August.
The 21-year-old had been asked to leave the venue due to his level of intoxication but, once outside, became ‘agitated’ and started swearing before lashing out.
During sentencing at Douglas Courthouse Brown’s advocate described it as a ‘spontaneous drunken act’ adding: “He was shocked, appalled and disgusted by his behaviour.”
He added: “Unfortunately he consumed too much alcohol throughout the course of the evening.”
The court heard Brown had written to the security worker to apologise describing his actions as ‘inexcusable’ – he’d also apologised to Jaks and the court.
Ordering Brown to do 80-hours of community service Deputy High Bailiff James Brooks told him: “It’s clear you were very, very drunk," adding: “Put this behind you and carry on”.
Brown, who pleaded guilty to common assault, will also have to pay £100 in compensation and prosecution costs of £125.
