DAMION Taylor ended his birthday celebrations in police cells after intervening on a friend's behalf.
Blackburn magistrates heard that he refused to stop swearing when asked by police and was eventually arrested.
Taylor, 23, of Copperfield Street, Blackburn, admitted a breach of the peace and was bound over in the sum of £100 to keep the peace for six months. A charge of being drunk and disorderly was withdrawn.
Basharat Ditta, defending, said Taylor, who had never been arrested before, had spent an enjoyable evening with friends. A female friend was complaining to police outside Utopia nightclub that she had been manhandled by the bouncers.
"My client went to remonstrate with the police for what he saw as their lack of action and was arrested for his trouble," said Mr Ditta. "He accepts that his behaviour was not of the standard required."
