His solicitor said this happened at 2am when his client was highly intoxicated.
He explained that McNeice’s long term relationship had ended that day and that was why he was drinking heavily.
Deputy District Judge Philip Mateer said the defendant’s attitude was worse than his behaviour and that his language to police was ‘outrageous in this day and age’.
