Jakob Newman-Watt admitted one charge of drunk and disorderly behaviour when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford. Police were called to a custody alarm after Newman-Watt entered the custody dock area at Hereford Police Station at 3.25am on March 13, prosecutor Ralph Robyns Landricombe said. Newman-Watt, who was carrying two bottles of alcohol and was swaying, told officers he wanted to be arrested as he was homeless and had nowhere to stay. He was told to go to the night shelter, but replied that he would do things to make them arrest him before kicking a police van. The 22-year-old was escorted from the car park into Gaol Street, where he started swearing and shouting, while police walked away and waited out of sight to see if he would leave.
