A “clearly drunk” Chesterfield man was tasered by police after “squaring up” to other drinkers and shouting outside a town centre night spot, a court heard.

Connor Cronin, 26, was heard yelling “f****** taser me” to police while resisting officers who were called to the scene outside Cheekys, St Marys Gate on September 24.

Prosecutor Becky Allsop told Chesterfield Magistrates Court: “He was brought over to a police vehicle and refused to calm down - he was tasered due to his behaviour.”

The court heard Cronon had previous convictions for alcohol-related offending and being drunk and disorderly, the most recent being in 2018.

The defendant, of Derby Road, Birdholme, admitted being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

He was handed a £40 fine, £85 court costs and a £16 victim surcharge.
