He was in Elizabeth Street when he went up to Corby’s police station and started hitting the door with a wooden stick.

He then began pressing the intercom and screaming before being arrested and dragged to a cell by officers.

Addressing the court, Taggart said: “It was just drunken stupidity and I apologise.”

Chairman of the bench Mark Bates fined Taggart £50 for his actions.

He was also ordered to pay costs of £85 and a £30 victim surcharge.
