Sheffield Magistrates’ Court - sitting at Sheffield Crown Court - heard on May 29 how Martin Hoyland, aged 42, formerly of Redscope Crescent, Kimberworth, Rotherham, admitted behaving in a drunk-and-disorderly manner in public on Oaks Lane, Kimberworth, Rotherham.
District Judge Naomi Redhouse sentenced Hoyland to a £50 fine or one day in custody which was deemed served because he had spent a night in custody prior to sentencing.

Hide AdSouth Yorkshire Police also successfully applied for a Domestic Violence Protection Order after a witness had heard Hoyland arguing in the street with his partner before Hoyland was later arrested for being drunk-and-disorderly in public and placed in custody.
Kirsty Pearson, prosecuting, stated there was no criteria for Hoyland to have been kept in custody overnight and this matter will be reviewed as an inappropriate overnight remand.
District Judge Naomi Redhouse imposed a 21-day Domestic Violence Protection Order banning Hoyland from visiting his ex-partner’s address and from threatening, pestering and arguing with her but she allowed him to have contact by other means.
Hester Russell, defending, said Hoyland could not remember anything about the drunk-and-disorderly incident though he has revealed he was abusive to officers prior to his arrest.
Miss Russell added Hoyland has been in a relationship which has been rocky at times and the defendant apologises for his behaviour and accepts some breathing space would be good.
