A customer who broke a glass door pane at Jaks bar has been fined £150.

Jordan Geoffrey Bashfort admitted an offence of property damage while two other allegations of threatening behaviour and disorderly behaviour on licensed premises were withdrawn by the prosecution.

Prosecuting advocate Roger Kane told the court that the 22-year-old was out with a group of people on July 26.

He was said to have been in Jaks when he dropped a pint glass on the dancefloor.

Bouncers asked him to leave due to being too intoxicated and escorted him outside.

Bashforth, who lives in Cushag Road, Anagh Coar, Douglas, then asked to get his jacket and bag which was allowed and he then left at around 11.30pm.

However, 10 minutes later he was said to have returned and tried to get back in the pub.

refused

He was refused entry but then took out his phone and tapped on the window as he appeared to be filming.

Staff asked him to move along but he then began demanding to know why he had been asked to leave.

After being told it was because he was too drunk he then demanded to see CCTV footage as he became argumentative.

Bouncers then closed the doors but just after midnight a loud thud was heard and an external glass panel in the door was cracked and broken.

Bashforth was seen running off and police were called.

He was later found in a takeaway on Castlemona Avenue.

However, he protested his innocence and was abusive while being arrested, saying: ’What for? I haven’t done anything.

’What are you arresting me for?’

no previous

The court heard that he has no previous convictions.

Defence advocate Paul Glover said that his client accepted the facts presented by the prosecution and asked for credit to be given for his guilty plea.

’It has been three months now and there have been no further offences in that period,’ said the advocate.

Mr Glover asked for Bashforth to be spared an alcohol ban which would put his job at risk, as he worked in a wholesale related job which involved him selling alcohol.

Magistrates chair Ken Faragher said: ’Had you taken the advice of door staff you wouldn’t be here today. Maybe next time you should heed their advice.’

Bashforth was also ordered to pay £120 compensation to Jaks for the door and £50 prosecution costs.

He will pay all the amounts at a rate of £50 per month.
