Hide AdProsecuting counsel said police told Donnelly to go home and he refused, becoming aggressive towards the officers.
The lawyer said he was asked again to leave and started shouting profanities and asking officers if they wanted to fight.
Imposing the sentence, District Judge Michael Ranaghan told Donnelly he was “now walking a tightrope”.
He said the police were doing their job and should not have to put up with abuse from people like Donnelly.
