Mark James Taylor, of Waterloo Road, admitted common assault and disorderly behaviour on licensed premises.
Magistrates sentenced him to eight weeks for each offence, to run consecutively, but suspended for 18 months.
We previously reported that, on December 21 at 6.35pm, police were called to Jaks after a report of Taylor fighting with door staff.
The door supervisor told police that he was speaking to two men when Taylor grabbed him.
Taylor loosened his grip but then clenched his fist and pushed the doorman.
The bouncer attempted to remove Taylor from the pub and he was said to have appeared to calm down.
He sat down near the door but when he was told to leave Taylor grabbed the bouncer again, then fell onto the ground.
He then grabbed the bouncer’s legs before being successfully taken outside and restrained on the ground.
Taylor’s anger continued as he shouted and swore at the door staff saying: ’I’m going to kill you.’
’I’m going to bounce your head off the pavement.’
Taylor then spat at the bouncer with the spittle landing on his thigh and continued his rant shouting: ’I’ll rape you and your kids and stab you.’
Police arrived and Taylor was arrested and taken to police headquarters.
When interviewed he told police he had been drinking from midday and had consumed 15 to 20 drinks.
Taylor said he could recall part of the incident saying that he had initially been trying to help a friend and find out what was going on as they were being ejected.
He said that he felt unfairly treated by the security staff but agreed that his behaviour was disorderly.
Taylor claimed that he could not remember spitting at the bouncer, adding that he was ’not the kind of person to spit’.
He went on to say that he would not have made the comments which had been attributed to him but admitted he should have walked away.
CCTV later shown to Taylor confirmed the spitting.
Defence advocate Paul Glover handed letters of apology from his client to the court and to Jaks as well as a reference from his employer.
Mr Glover said that Taylor had one previous conviction in the last 17 years.
The advocate said: ’Mr Taylor isn’t saying his actions were merited. He felt hard done by in the situation. Unfortunately things have escalated. He would put his behaviour and actions down to an unfortunate mix of alcohol and not taking his medication.
’By his own admission he is not a heavy drinker. The reason he was out was for a Christmas do.’
Magistrates chair Ken Faragher said: ’Door staff have a very difficult job to do, particularly during the Christmas period. They should not be subjected to violence, particularly involving spitting and verbal threats towards their family.’
Taylor must also pay £125 prosecution costs.
