and using offensive language toward Police in the early hours of the morning.

Colin Harvey, of 4 Hill Valley, who said he was still intoxicated when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Will Francis at 10 a.m. yesterday, admitted the offences.

Prosecutor Sgt. Anthony Mouchette told the court that Police arrived at Harvey's home at around 5.30 a.m. yesterday to tell him to turn his music down.

But as they approached him, Harvey yelled: "Why don't you go catch some f***ing murderer like O.J. Simpson.'' Sgt. Mouchette said Harvey had a history of playing loud music and using profanity.

Harvey's employer, Michael Smith, told Mr. Francis that Harvey was an alcoholic and had been sober for 18 months before the incident. Mr. Smith said Harvey had recently experienced a personal problem which caused him to fall off the wagon.

Mr. Francis released Harvey on a 12-month conditional discharge and told him: "Get a grip on yourself and do not let drinking get a grip on you.''
