Gilberto Pedra, 43, of Railway Trail, Paget, appeared in Magistrates? Court on Tuesday where he pleaded guilty to using offensive words.

Crown counsel Paula Tyndale said the incident began at September 17 at 1.22 a.m. when Pedra beckoned to the officers saying ?I want to tell you something.?

He then swore at them and was arrested ? at which point he claimed to work for the CIA ? but later apologised.

Fining him $300, Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo, said: ?Next time you call the Police, call them for assistance, not to tell them what you really think. OK??
