The defendant pleaded guilty to committing an act outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner by exposing himself and urinating over shopping baskets in view of several members of the public in a busy shop on November 30.

He also admitted failing to surrender to custody having been released on bail.

Mecia was given a 12 month conditional discharge but if he re-offends he will be re-sentenced for outraging public decency along with any new crime.

He was also ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge.
