David James Scott, of Royal Avenue, admitted an offence of being drunk and disorderly and was also banned from licensed premises for three months.
Prosecutor Barry Swain told the court how, on July 14 at 2.20am, police on patrol near the Outback in Barrack Street, Douglas, saw Scott involved in a verbal altercation with three other people.
The altercation became physical and police went to intervene, taking Scott away from the group in an attempt to get him to calm down.
However, Scott became aggressive and tried to run off before then adopting a fighting stance, clenching his fists and shouting obscenities.
He was taken to the ground by police but continued to kick out trying to break free.
A member of the public and door staff from the Outback had to assist to restrain him.
Scott continued to be violent and Pava spray eventually had to be used to halt his aggression.
He was arrested and was then said to have made strange animal noises in response to questions.
Defence advocate Paul Glover said that his client was shocked and ashamed when he had been read the summary of what had happened.
’He has very little recollection of the incident,’ said Mr Glover. ’He remembers being in the Outback, then being pinned down on the ground. He completely understands police have a more than difficult job to do at weekends.
’He was out enjoying the weekend. Unfortunately, events have turned incredibly sour.
’He understands he could have been facing a far more serious charge.’
Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes said: ’Clearly you were extremely intoxicated as you have no recollection.
’Goodness knows what you had been drinking. Police shouldn’t have to put up with abuse being shouted at them by someone as drunk as you were. You are fortunate you aren’t charged with a more serious offence.’
Scott must also pay £125 prosecution costs.
