Why did this man shout homophobic slurs, whip out his genitals and then tell police he was Batman?
A lot of us know what it’s like to have a drunken night you’d like to forget, but not many of us can say we have had the same night as a 27-year-old from Manchester, England.
Nathan McMahon and a friend had turned up at the Bell Hotel in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, clearly already drunk.
He had called the landlord a ‘gay git’, exposed himself and put his genitals on the bar in front of customers, and kept on swearing when the landlord took away his cider.
The landlord subsequently pressed the panic button to call police.
When the two realized the cops were coming, McMahon and his friend staggered out of the pub. He punched a ‘for sale’ sign, tore up plants, urinated in the street and shouted threats, according to the Plymouth Herald.
When police caught him, they threw him in a riot van. In custody, he told officers his name was ‘Batman’
McMahon pleaded guilty to threatening behavior and damaging property when he appeared at Yeovil Magistrates Court.
He was given a 12 month community order with 120 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay £235 ($370, €330).
Tom Biggs, who defended McMahon, described it as a ‘drunken night that went terribly wrong’.
Yeah, no kidding.
