42-year-old Sandys Parish man in prison for three months.

Mervyn Smith, of Bobs Valley Road, pleaded guilty to the two charges in Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said Smith went home around 10.30 p.m. on Christmas Day swearing and disturbing his family.

When he was told to behave, he became angry and broke five louvres on his sisters' downstairs apartment door.

The police were called and when they arrived Smith locked himself in a bedroom.

Sgt. Taylor said Smith told Police: "You better leave this yard and go back to the station and tell the f...ing Governor and that refugee Commissioner that Smokey ain't going no f...ing where.'' Smith continued to shout obscenities to his family and the Police officers and when the door was broken down he ran into another bedroom, added Sgt. Taylor.

He said Police entered the second room and Smith was arrested. He threatened a woman detective constable who was helping with the arrest that he would deal with her when he got out.

Yesterday Smith told the court he was sorry for threatening the woman officer -- but he also let the court know that he was tired of the way the judicial system worked.

"People are out there near murdering people, and your locking me up for being drunk and incoherent,'' he told the court.

Acting Senior Magistrate Edward King sentenced Smith to three months imprisonment for using offensive language and one month in prison for wilful damage.

The sentences are to run concurrently.
