POLICE patrolling in Darwen town centre saw a 34-year-old man with his trousers round his ankles defecating on the pavement outside a takeaway.
Blackburn magistrates heard the man pulled up his trousers and tried to run off but was arrested.
And the court was told Zbigniew Grzeszczak remembered nothing until he woke up in a police cell the following morning covered in faeces.
Grzesczak, 34, of Percival Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly in a public place.
He was fined £230 and ordered to pay £85 costs and £30 victim surcharge.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said the incident happened at 12.50 am outside Roosters Chicken on Borough Road.
“You may wonder why he is not facing a more serious offence because that kind of behaviour is usually classed as outraging public decency,” said Miss Allan.
“The reason is that for that charge there have to be at least two people in the vicinity capable of being outraged. The file is silent about whether other people were present.”
Angela Rossi, defending, said the incident happened on a Bank Holiday weekend and her client accepted he had been drinking quite a lot.
“He can’t remember a great deal but knows he must have drunk a lot because of the state he was in when he woke in a police cell,” said Miss Rossi.
“He had voluntarily had a tag fitted and has abstained from alcohol since this happened in May.”
