A 35-year-old man has been fined £330 for being drunk and disorderly.

Dawid Ogrodnik was thrown out of 1886 bar, then refused entry to Jaks.

But, despite several warnings from police, he then went back to the 1886 bar to try to get back in there.

Prosecuting advocate Hazel Carroon told the court that Ogrodnik was asked to leave 1886 bar in Regent Street on February 19 at 1.20am.

Outside the pub, staff signalled to police who were nearby, asking them to assist in removing Ogrodnik.

He was said to be smelling of alcohol, unsteady on his feet, and slurring his words.

He was advised by officers to go home and reluctantly agreed.

However, at 1.50am police saw him again, this time being refused entry into Jaks.

Police again asked him to move on and gave him a final warning to go home.

However, Ogrodnik was abusive and was warned again and eventually left.

But he was then later seen trying to climb over the railings at 1886 bar and get back into the pub.

He refused to leave and was eventually arrested.

Defence advocate Paul Rodgers handed in letters of reference for his client.

Mr Rodgers said that it was an unusual set of circumstances as Ogrodnik had a very positive relationship with 1886 bar through working for a company which dealt with them.

The advocate said that Ogrodnik’s employer was standing by him.

‘He can’t believe he did what he did,’ said Mr Rodgers.

‘He’s a very friendly person and didn’t quite understand he maybe wasn’t in the right state to go in.’

Deputy High Bailiff James Brooks told Ogrodnik: ‘It’s plain from what I’ve heard you were extremely drunk. It does seem the police gave you an awful lot of rope but unfortunately you chose to hang yourself with that rope.’

Ogrodnik was also ordered to pay £125 prosecution costs which he will pay, along with the fine, at a rate of £100 per month.
