Neil Theakstone, 54, of Marshall Street, Heanor, was found drunk and disorderly on Wellington Street, in Ripley, by police.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop told a Chesterfield magistrates’ court hearing on Wednesday, October 5: “Officers were called out after a report of an intoxicated male urinating in the street.
“He was seen stumbling backwards and tripped over his own feet and fell into the road causing cars to take evasive action.”
Police helped Theakstone back onto his feet, according to Mrs Allsop, but he was repeatedly abusive so he had to be arrested.
