A man who rang police but was himself arrested after shouting at officers has denied being drunk and disorderly.

Rory O'Shea of Douglas appeared before Deputy High Bailiff this week after an incident outside the Outback nightclub on Sunday, December 10.

The court heard he'd called police over an alleged homophobic incident in the club, but refused to leave the area and became argumentative when officers arrived.

He was bailed in the sum of £500 and will appear again on February 13 for a pre-trial review.
