Man caught with traffic cone in Dungannon fails to complete community service
Paul Denny, 22, had been convicted of disorderly behaviour in Dungannon after he was spotted by police in Perry Street in the early hours of February 7 carrying a traffic cone.
After telling the officer to “f**k off it’s my cone”, the court heard how Denny swore at police before adopting a fighting stance and adding: “No harm, I’m only having the craic lad.”
