Goldie in court over police threat

A drunken reveller threatened a police officer after he was arrested following a fight in a pub.

Ian Goldsmith, also known as 'Goldie', was one of the prisoners featured in 'The Best Little Prison in Britain' TV series.

He appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 48-year-old, of York Road, Douglas, admitted a public order offence after an incident at the Rosemount pub.

The court heard wasn't involved in the initial fight but stepped in to help a friend, and after being arrested told an officer 'I will find and destroy you'.

Goldsmith admitted the offence and he was bound over to keep the peace for 12 months.
