THESE are the drunkards who have been punished for their loutish behaviour across Bradford in the past two months.
Eight people - five women and three men - have admitted their embarrassing behaviour in court after being charged with being drunk and disorderly in the Bradford district.
Five have been fined for their actions, while others have received other punishments and one woman is awaiting her sentence after committing other serious offending while being drunk and disorderly.
All eight appeared at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates’ Court in either April or May to answer for their behaviour.
First up on April 21 was one of the worst offenders, 39-year-old Sarah Thornton of Cutler Heights.
She indicated she would plead guilty but has not been sentenced yet, as her case has been sent to Bradford Crown Court for sentencing on June 7.
This is because she has also admitted seven charges of assaulting an emergency worker relating to her arrest for being drunk and disorderly in Cutler Heights Lane on February 4, assaulting five police officers and two detention officers.
Also in on April 21 was Holly Fallas, 23, of Dewhirst Road, Brighouse, who admitted being drunk and disorderly in a public place on October 19, 2020.
She was fined £40 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £34.
Appearing on April 28 was Mohammed Kamran, 32, of Ryelands Grove, Heaton, who admitted being drunk and disorderly in Emm Lane on October 5, 2019. He also admitted cannabis possession and using abusive homophobic language towards a police officer on the same date.
For being drunk and disorderly he was fined £100, for cannabis possession he was also fined £100, and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £95 and costs of £310.
For the threatening behaviour Kamran has been made subject to a community order, on an electronically tagged curfew between 6pm and 6am for 18 days.
Czech-national Antonin Gasper, 44, of Sunbridge Road, Bradford, was in court on May 4, where he admitted being drunk and disorderly on Christmas Day, 2020, in St Chad’s Road.
He was handed a conditional discharge for six months and ordered to pay a surcharge of £22 and costs of £85.
On May 5, 21-year-old Benjamin Chevens, of Clock Tower, Menston, admitted being drunk and disorderly in Rowantree Drive, Thorpe Edge, on July 12, 2020.
He was fined £300 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £34.
Jade Anderson, 43, of Lynfield Drive, Chellow Heights, was in court on May 6, when she admitted being drunk and disorderly in Bradford city centre.
She admitted her offending, which took place in Broadway on April 18, and has been handed a 12 month conditional discharge, and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £22.
Appearing on May 10 was Antonia McLaughlin, 22, of Redcar Road, Greengates, who admitted being drunk and disorderly in Ranelagh Avenue on January 17.
She has been fined £40 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £34, with no order for costs due to “lack of means”.
The final drunkard in court – on May 13 – was 33-year-old Deborah Burns, of Walker Avenue, Scholemoor, who admitted being drunk and disorderly in City Park on April 19, and has been ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £22.
