A drunken man was caught on camera by a police helicopter urinating on a dog.

Nicholas Evans was spotted from upon high relieving himself against a wall on a coastal path, and then when a woman walked by with her dog, he relieved himself on that too.

Evans was fined £150 with £255 costs at Llandudno after pleading guilty to a public order offence, causing harassment, alarm or distress at Llanddulas on May 27.

District Judge Gwyn Jones told him : “It was an extremely unpleasant offence in an area where members of the public go.”

Tracey Willingham, prosecuting, said that 27-year-old Evans, of Llanrwst Road, Conwy, was spotted at 4.30pm when the helicopter was searching for two men.

The defendant was swaying and urinated while leaning against a wall. When a woman came along with a small dog he urinated on it.

Then when a cyclist appeared he chased him in an intimidating manner.

That night Evans was shown the CCTV by police and accepted he had urinated on the pathway and said sorry.

Graham Parry, defending, said Evans had gone to an area where he thought he would be hidden from public view. He said he didn’t think the cyclist was perturbed by the other incident.

The district judge told Evans that potentially more serious charges could have been brought. The £405 in the fine and costs will be paid by deduction from his benefits.
