Drunk and disorderly charge for BNP fan
A BNP supporter has been fined for being drunk and disorderly in Lytham.
Decorator John Taylor, 22, of Beech Avenue in Warton, was with friend Rikki-Lea Mynott, 20, of Lytham Road, Freckleton, when he was heard chanting 'BNP'.
Both appeared before Blackpool magistrates and pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly. Mynott admitted resisting arrest.
Martine Connah, prosecuting, said police saw Mynott staggering along Pleasant Street with a pint glass at 10.30am, on May 30.
Police poured the alcohol away and continued to watch the pair.
The duo were in Java Coffee and Wine Shop on Clifton Square at 1.05am.
The venue was closing and Taylor left with a glass.
An officer made him get rid of the glass and Mynott flailed his arms, refused to go home, and as two officers tried to handcuff him they were brought to the ground.
Gary McAnulty, defending, said both defendants were boisterous, but not causing trouble.
Mynott became annoyed after his drink was poured away.
Taylor walked off, but was arrested after police heard him shouting.
They were both fined 70 with 45 costs and ordered to pay a 15 victims' charge.
Mynott was also ordered to pay a police officer 75 compensation for his injuries.
