A 65-year-old homeless man who Naas District Court heard shouted and roared at ambulance staff in Newbridge who were coming to his assistance while he was drunk, asked the Judge not to send him to jail.
The 65-year-old man with an address at Peter McVerry Trust, was charged with Section 4 and Section 6 Public Order, at Eyre St, Newbridge, on March 2, 2019.
At a previous court sitting in evidence, Sgt Brian Jacob said that because he was intoxicated, a member of the public made a call.
Sgt Jacob said: "He was intoxicated, he kept shouting, 'fuck off you asshole.'
Last Thursday, Defence Solicitor, Brian Larkin, said that the man is a 'chronic alcoholic.'
Judge Desmond Zaidan remanded him in custody for seven days.
