Disorder man was "fed-up" with police - court
A DRUNK mechanic with 73 previous convictions swore at police because he said he was sick of them harassing him.
Jason Bridger was arrested after he swore at officers at The Cross in the centre of Worcester on Sunday, April 20.
Bridger, 22, of Boscobel Place, Lowesmoor, Worcester, admitted a public order offence of being threatening, abusive or insulting to police when he appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court.
Sallie Hewitt, prosecuting, said Bridger swore at police and continued to be abusive in the back of the police van when he was arrested at 2.20am.
Bridger, who defended himself, admitted he was drunk at the time and said he had only been released from prison three weeks ago.
He added: "I have made several complaints to police. They have been harassing me.
"Every time they see me in town they stop and search me. I'm a bit fed-up with it."
Bruce Morgan, district judge, said: "You do have 73 convictions. You can understand why they have concerns.
"When I look at your record for violence it's not surprising when you behave like this and draw attention to yourself."
He was fined £250 and ordered to pay £60 costs and a victim surcharge.
