Ryan Steven Bailey pleaded guilty to one count of causing criminal damage to a West Mercia Police vehicle in Telford on September 28 this year when he appeared at Telford Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Kate Price, prosecuting on Tuesday, said the 27-year-old had been “very clearly drunk and stumbling around”.

A police officer put him “in the back of a police car” so he could deal with someone else.
