A night on the town turned into a weekend in jail for a US visitor, after he was caught by security guards within a restricted area of the Hamilton docks.Magistrates’ Court heard that Stephen Simpson, 23, had no memory of how he ended up behind the Customs building at 4.15am on Saturday — after getting his first taste of the Dark ‘n’ Stormy.“He was out of it, to the point of blacking out,” lawyer Lee DeRosa-Holder told Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner, adding that Simpson was unaccustomed to alcohol and deeply apologetic.No mischief was intended in the incident, he added — although trespassing on the docks carries a maximum fine of $10,000, according to Crown counsel Larissa Burgess.The court heard that a security guard on patrol happened upon Simpson standing near Customs that night. Asked how he had got there, Simpson said he’d come down the steps.According to security, the gates to the docks were secured.Simpson ran off when the guard called police, and after a lengthy search he was found asleep under a loader just before 5am.He was arrested, but told police he hadn’t known the area was restricted.Simpson, from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, had been visiting the Island as a jump rope instructor for the Bermuda Heart Foundation.“After all his activity, he went out and celebrated,” Mr DeRosa-Holder told the court.Noting that the Customs building is pink, Mr Warner joked that the defendant had mistaken it for the Hamilton Princess Hotel.Mr Warner gave him an absolute discharge, meaning he would have no criminal record.He added: “There is a flip side to this. We welcome visitors and encourage them to experience Dark ‘n’ Stormies — but not to the point where it affects you like how you were affected.“I guess the moral is, if you can’t handle liquor, you should leave it alone.”
