Two young men changed their pleas to guilty in Magistrates? Court on Tuesday for using offensive language ? but only after they heard they would have to return to court.

Cheftan Hall, 21, of Dundonald Street, changed his plea after another person charged with offensive words was given a conditional discharge.

Crown counsel Oonagh Vaucrosson told the court that on July 31 Police officers spotted Hall standing on the kerb in Washington Lane.

She said he appeared nervous and Police approached him to search for drugs.

Ms Vaucrosson said Hall became agitated and told the officer to ?get their f***ing hands off me and get the f**k out of my face you pig?.

She added that no drugs were found.

?I did nothing wrong,? Hall said after pleading guilty. Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner told him that he was either unequivocally guilty or not. Hall said he was guilty and remained quiet.

He was fined $1,000 and has to pay the fine by September 9.

Gilbert Trott, 20, from Cable Hill in Devonshire at first pleaded not guilty to using offensive language on July 9.

However, when he heard he would have to return to court in October, he changed his plea to guilty, saying that he would be abroad in school then.

He also misunderstood Mr. Warner when he told Trott he was entitled to a ?free? and fair trial.

?I will have to fly back so it won?t be free,? he told Mr. Warner, and changed his plea to guilty.

Ms Vaucrosson told the court that at about 1 a.m. Police responded to a fight outside Captain?s Lounge. When they arrived, they found Trott standing outside with blood on his face.

Asked if he needed help, he replied: ?What the f**k do you think??

The officers warned Trott not to use offensive language and asked him if he wanted to lay charges against the other person involved in the fight.

Trott did not and the officers proceeded to walk away.

That?s when Trott shouted: ?You guys don?t do sh*t! Look at all you f***ing cops doing nothing!?

Trott told Mr. Warner that he called the Police. He said he and his girlfriend had been walking when some men passed them and ?patted? her backside.

He said a fight broke out and when officers arrived he told them ?those motherf**kers jumped me?.

Trott said it was at this point that he was told not to swear.

?Upset or not, you know you can?t behave that way,? Mr. Warner said.

After taking Trott?s age and and the fact that he was leaving to study abroad, Mr. Warner gave him a conditional discharge, but he added he still found Trott?s behaviour ?deplorable?.

Mr. Warner told Trott to write a letter of apology to the Commissioner of Police apologising for his behaviour before leaving for school.
