Man 'shouted and swore' at Bristol police after trashing friend's room

A man arrested for causing a rumpus at a friend's home was then hostile to police, shouting and swearing at them. Bristol Crown Court heard Ricky Gayle told police "I'm f-ing not, do I look like a bacon?" when asked if he was halal.

Gayle, 63, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to criminal damage and a public order offence in December last year. Judge Moira Macmillan jailed him for 32 weeks, which included activation of a previously suspended 30 weeks' jail.

The judge told Gayle: "You are 63 and you have a lengthy list of previous convictions. Unfortunately there is a pattern of offending I have to consider today."
