DRUNKEN antics and fighting at a takeaway landed an "irate" man in hot water with Grimsby magistrates.
Dean Fairley, 28, of Taylor Street, Cleethorpes, admitted being drunk and disorderly on November 2.
Cathy Kioko-Gilligan, prosecuting, said police went to the Topkapi takeaway in High Street, Cleethorpes, after staff reported an abusive incident. There was a fight outside involving Fairley and another customer. Fairley swore and was cautioned but told police: "You think you're great and cocky. I know the law. I haven't done owt."
He was heavily drunk and was arrested.
Fairley told the court that the takeaway shop owner used to employ him and there was an argument with him over the time he used to work for him.
"I just got irate," he said. "I had had a drink. Two officers came in the shop and escorted me out. When the coppers grabbed hold of me, I was effing and blinding."
Unemployed Fairley was given a one-year conditional damage and was ordered to pay £85 costs and a Government- imposed £15 victims' surcharge.
