Presiding magistrate, Philip Clayton, told him: “This sort of behaviour is a nuisance to police, members of the public and holidaymakers. This type of thing gives Blackpool a bad name.”
Suzanne Mugford, defending, said Seeley remembered little of the incident apart from being on the Promenade with a bottle of whisky, before waking up in the police cells.
The Registered alcoholic had fallen off the wagon.
