Robert John Bell, of Richmond Grove, admitted disorderly behaviour on licensed premises and was ordered by Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes to do 160 hours of unpaid work.
We previously reported how, on December 2 at 1.40am, police were called to Jaks on Loch Promenade after a report of Bell refusing to leave.
Staff said he was too drunk to be allowed in but Bell was said to have grabbed a wall to prevent them from moving him away from the pub.
Bell, aged 34, was then said to have pushed a bouncer in the chest and grabbed his hair, wrenching his head back.
The bouncer then dealt with two other people but Bell was then said to have continued his anger pushing the bouncer again, causing his arms to lift up and his teeth to bite his tongue.
He was then said to have grabbed the bouncer by the throat before police arrived and he was arrested.
Defence advocate Deborah Myerscough handed in letters of reference for her client as well as a letter of apology from Bell himself.
Ms Myerscough said: ’Mr Bell has put his job and his accommodation in jeopardy.
’He shares accommodation with a number of friends.
’Without his job the others can’t afford to keep the house going without replacing him.’
The advocate said that although Bell did not have long term issues with alcohol, he had self-referred to Motiv8.
Embarrassed
’He has taken this quite seriously,’ said Ms Myerscough. ’Clearly he let his hair down a little too much on this occasion.
’He realises he set a really poor example to his son.
’He does charity work and has severely embarrassed himself. When he saw the CCTV footage he was thoroughly embarrassed.’
Mrs Hughes told Bell while passing sentence: ’Goodness knows what led you to do what you did.
’Most likely alcohol in the run-up to Christmas.
’You might consider yourself fortunate you are not charged with assault on the doorman.’
Bell was also ordered to pay £125 prosecution costs.
