A MAN who exposed his backside to police in Bolton has been fined £165.
Aaron Green, aged 22, of Southern House, Halliwell, pleaded guilty to using threatening and abusive language during an English Defence League protest in Bolton town centre on March 20.
At Bolton Magistrates Court yesterday, Nicola Ormerod, prosecuting, said officers noticed Green because he was near a group of men they were monitoring as part of the police’s protest operation.
She added: “Police had been dealing with pockets of trouble across the town throughout the day.
“ At about 4.30pm, the defendant pulled down his trousers and flashed his backside to police.
“He then began swearing and shouting at police, who arrested him and later charged him.”
Green said: “What I did was stupid.
I was drunk and acting stupidly, that’s all I can say.”
Chairman of the bench Peter Jones said: “We cannot have this in our town. There could have been children about.
“Bolton is a nice town and it doesn’t need people doing what you did.
