A DRUNK man with his trousers 'falling down' who swore at children and adults was angry because nobody would help him pull them up.

Paul Lewis was spotted with his trousers down and later found lying in a puddle of urine in an alleyway off Lowesmoor, claiming nobody would help him pull his pants up because of his Irish accent. He explained that he struggled to do it himself after suffering a fall and breaking his shoulder.

The 39-year-old, who gave a care of address of St Paul's Hostel in Tallow Hill, Worcester, admitted using threatening or abusive words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress when he appeared before city magistrates on Thursday.

He further admitted possession of a class B drug - amphetamine. Both offences happened in Lowesmoor on November 5 last year and placed him in breach of a conditional discharge.

Eleanor Peart, prosecuting, said at Asda in St Martin's Quarter at 4pm on November 5 last year 'reports came to police of an intoxicated male with his trousers falling down being abusive to members of the public, including children'. The expletives he used were read out in court but are too offensive to be published.

Officers later found him 'lying in an alleyway near the Firefly in a puddle of urine'.

"It was apparent he was intoxicated. He continued swearing profusely" said Miss Peart. Again, members of the public, including children, were present.

Lewis said he felt he was being mistaken for somebody else. During a search the amphetamines were found.

In a police interview, which took place on November 14 last year, Lewis said he had broken his arm and he had been trying to get members of the public to help him pull his trousers up.

Lewis, who represented himself at the hearing, said: "They won't help me because they think I'm Irish straight away. I just couldn't understand why nobody would help me.

"I could not understand that day why nobody was listening to me." He said a member of his foster family passed away and November 5 was the seventh anniversary of the death. "I really just wanted the day to go quickly" he said.

Lewis said he was 'still having my alcohol trouble' and was 'still having relapses now and then'. He added that he would like further help to address that issue.

"I have just been a bit silly" he said. When asked if he was sorry for what he had done by the bench he replied: "Very, very."

He further explained that he had PTSD following an accident and had been in foster care since he was 13.

Magistrates fined him £80 for possession of the amphetamines and made no separate penalty in respect of the public order offence.

They ordered him to make a contribution towards court costs of £185 and pay a victim surcharge of £34. The bench also ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the drug.

To this Lewis responded: "I was surprised I had one on me."

No action was taken for the breach of the conditional discharge. A fines collection order was made, granting the court additional powers to recover the debt.
