A man was restrained by police using Pava spray after he was arrested.

Jordan Declan John Caley, of Mona Drive, Douglas, admitted charges of resisting arrest and provoking behaviour.

Caley, 22, will be sentenced on October 9 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecutor Rachael Braidwood told the court how, on July 26 at 2.50am, the complainant in the case was at his home at Church Road Marina in Douglas.

He went to his neighbour’s flat to complain about loud music which was keeping him awake.

Caley was present at the flat and started swearing at the complainant telling him: ’You need to leave. What’s it got to do with you? You best go back to your room.’

The neighbour then got between Caley and the complainant to stop an altercation but as the man left Caley told him: ’I’ll see you around.’

The complainant called the police who then called at the address.

Caley was arrested but as he was being escorted outside he started struggling with police who eventually had to use Pava spray to restrain him.

Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes ordered that the probation report should consider all options including custody.

Bail was granted.
