A MAN admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards another man when he appeared in court.

Karl Robert George Purnell, aged 19, of Whitehead Drive, Weymouth, pleaded guilty to the offence at Weymouth Magistrates Court. Nicky Reece, prosecuting, said that on April 22 Purnell had been in the Dorothy Inn on Weymouth Esplanade.

Outside he ran into a group of people including his ex-girlfriend who was in a group with Christian Jugessor.

Mrs Reece said that Mr Jugessor began to ‘wind Purnell up’.

Purnell then butted Mr Jugessor, the court heard.

Magistrates adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
