At North Antrim Magistrates Court in Coleraine on Wednesday 22-year-old Joseph Alexander McNicholl of Scally Park admitted a charge of indecent behaviour in a street.
A prosecutor said a police patrol saw the defendant standing urinating in the middle of Charles Street at 3am on Sunday January 17 this year in full view of a nearby chip shop where people were present and when approached he ran from police.

Hide AdA defence lawyer said his client remembered very little about the incident because he had been drinking but he is very embarrassed by his actions.
He said unemployed McNicholl only ran a very short distance before stopping in his tracks.
Sentencing the defendant, District Judge Richard Wilson, said: “If you do something stupid like this again you will lose that 200 and be punished for anything you do again, so stay out of trouble.”
