He was Thomas Hamilton (19), Lower Toberhewney Lane, Lurgan, and last Wednesday at Craigavon Magistrates Court he was fined £150 for disorderly behaviour on February 23 this year.

The court heard that at 1.50am a police mobile patrol in High Street, Lurgan, saw the defendant. As they passed he made the gesture.

When police spoke to Hamilton he said: “Where’s your f—king proof.”

Mr Richard Monteith, representing the defendant, said Hamilton had got a job and he had obviously spent some of his wages on drink on this occasion.
