Nick Wyman, prosecuting, told North Lincolnshire Magistrates' Court James was causing a disturbance outside the Matrix bar, Scunthorpe, in the early hours.

He refused to leave and walked back to the town centre.

James told the court he had drunk too much while celebrating a friend's birthday and wanted to know why the police had asked him to leave.

"It was the worst mistake I made," he said.

"I'm not a violent person in any way."

He added he had worked very hard at college and was doing an apprenticeship.

James was fined £100 and was ordered to pay £85 costs and a Government-imposed £20 victims' surcharge.
