Michael Andrew Hoctor, of Croit e Quill, attempted to get one bouncer in a headlock and ended up on the ground.
He admitted being drunk and disorderly and was ordered by Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes to do 150 hours of unpaid work.
Hoctor, aged 30, was also banned from purchasing or being sold alcohol for three months.
We previously reported how, on December 2 at 1.40am, a fight started outside Jaks bar on Loch Promenade.
It calmed down, but Hoctor was said to have then got involved, squaring up to a bouncer.
He was said to have attempted to get the bouncer in a headlock then grabbed him by the throat. The men ended up on the ground and Hoctor told the bouncer: ’I’ll kill you.’
The bouncer broke free but Hoctor was said to have squared up to him again saying: ’I know people. I’ll kill you.’
Police restrained Hoctor but it was said that he bit a bouncer on the chest during another scuffle on the ground, something which he denied doing in court.
The court heard that Hoctor has no previous convictions. Defence advocate David Clegg handed in a reference from Hoctor’s employer and a letter of apology from Hoctor to the court.
The advocate said that his client had also written a letter of apology to the bouncer.
’It would be hard to express any more remorse than he already has,’ said Mr Clegg.
’Mr Hoctor is a man who is in his early 30s and has never been in trouble before.
’He loses his good character as a result of his actions.
’He is a hard-working family man who has made a bad decision through drink but I would submit this is the exception, not the rule.
’His employer’s reference could not be more glowing.’
Mrs Hughes told Hoctor while passing sentence: ’You shouldn’t have got involved and I think you understand that now. ’You didn’t start the offence but you joined in.’
Hoctor was also ordered to pay £125 prosecution costs.
