A former resident of Street YMCA had been drinking when he tried to get into the premises, shouting and swearing and causing a security guard to alert the police.

Kieran James Lock had previously been banned from the property when he threw a bottle of vodka over the wall, and then smashed his mobile phone and was abusive to staff.

He managed to get into the rear of the building and was detained by staff, and when the police were called he ignored repeated warnings to stop shouting and swearing and was arrested.

Lock, 22, of Bove Moor Close, Street, admitted being drunk and disorderly at Street on January 5 when he was before Somerset Magistrates at Yeovil.

Emma Lenanton, prosecuting, said that police were called to Street YMCA at 4am after reports that an ex-resident was outside and trying to gain access.

"Lock had thrown a bottle of vodka over the wall which had not smashed, however he then smashed his phone and was abusive to the staff," she said.

"He gained access to the rear of the building and fell over, and was then detained until the police arrived and was refusing to leave.

"He was told he shouldn't be there as he had been banned from the site, but he was shouting and swearing and was asked to stop on a number of occasions, but was clearly drunk and then arrested."

His behaviour continued on the way to the police station and his actions were caught on police body worn camera footage.

The court also heard that the defendant had previously been sent to prison for various offences and was currently subject to post-sentence supervision.

Lock, who worked as a scaffolder, told the magistrates that he felt he did have an issue with alcohol and said he was fine at the beginning of the night but had very little recollection of what happened.

"It was just a blur as I don’t drink that much, also I was in prison for a while and when I woke up in Bridgwater police station I wondered what the hell had happened," he said.

The magistrates fined him £83 with £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
