A Peel fisherman has been fined £275 after admitting being drunk and disorderly in a bar.

David Alexander Tweedy, of Bluebell Close, was asked to leave the Schooner bar in Ramsey and asked bouncers: ’Who would be laughing if I came in and stabbed everyone?’

The 27-year-old then threw a glass across the road.

A pre-trial review was due to take place on Thursday after Tweedy had pleaded not guilty previously.

But he changed his plea to admit the offence when he appeared before Magistrates last week.

Magistrates ordered him to pay £250 prosecution costs due to the case reaching pre-trial review stage.

And they banned him from entering licensed premises, and purchasing or being sold alcohol for three months.

Prosecuting advocate Roger Kane told the court how the incident occurred on October 26.

Staff at the bar, which is on West Quay in Ramsey, told police that Tweedy had been abusive and threatening so had asked him to leave the pub.

Tweedy left but then tried to return, only to be denied access.

He was then said to have been overheard talking about stabbing someone before saying to security staff: ’Who would be laughing if I came in now and stabbed everyone?’

He then threw a glass across the road before leaving the area.

Police arrived and found him in a wine and tapas bar in Parliament Street where he was arrested.

The court heard that the offence was committed while Tweedy was subject to a probation order.

Defence advocate James Peterson said that his client accepted the prosecution case although he said he had little memory of events.

Mr Peterson said the case had reached the pre-trial review because Tweedy did not believe he would have thrown the glass but now accepted that must have been the case.

’Clearly he’s acted foolishly,’ said the advocate.

Magistrates ordered him to pay the fine and costs at a rate of £10 per week.
