Hide AdDefence solicitor Stephen Atherton said it was inevitable that McPeake would attract the attention of the police staggering around drunk in the middle of the day.
Mr Atherton said the defendant has never had the benefit of guidance from the Probation Service, especially in relation to his alcohol issues, and he urged the court to dispose of the matter in that way.
