Conner Fagon-Lowe, 28, of Queen’s Road, St Peter Port, admitted obstructing three police officers in the due execution of their duties at La Tourgand, St Peter Port, and behaving in a disorderly manner both there and at the Police Station.
Population and Immigration had since confirmed that he would no longer be allowed to stay on the island.
The court was told how police officers had been called to Folies Nightclub at 1.15am following reports of an assault.
One of the officers was talking to the suspect when the defendant approached and stood close by, ignoring requests to move away.
He repeatedly tried to get between the officers and the suspect and was filming it on his mobile phone.
The suspect was arrested and while he was being put in to a police vehicle outside, the defendant again tried to push past them and he ignored requests to moderate his abusive language.
He said he would find out where they and their families lived and he would ‘do them’. He was arrested and while in a holding cell at the Police Station he was racially abusive towards another officer.
In interview he said little of any consequence in terms of an explanation.
The last matter on his record had been in 2019.
Defending, Advocate David Domaille said his client had written letters of apology to both the court and the police almost immediately after the incident, which he had passed to the Probation Service.
He was extremely embarrassed when shown CCTV footage of his behaviour at the Police Station. He was beside himself with regret and wished to repeat his apology, especially to the officer towards whom he was racially abusive.
As the Probation report noted, this had been an incident of alcohol-related anti-social behaviour and aggression towards police officers.
Judge Gary Perry said it was clear that the defendant’s remorse was genuine as he had written his letter of apology within three days of the incident.
‘It’s a shame that you allow yourself to get so drunk that you act in this way,’ he said.
‘Some people seem to think that those doing public duties – particularly police officers – are fair game for abuse.’
For obstructing police officers, a prison sentence of one month suspended for two years was imposed. Fines of £400 were meted for each of the disorderly behaviour matters. He must also pay £200 in compensation to each of the officers he obstructed at Folies, plus £300 to the officer he racially abused at the Police Station.
