Last month, he was also fined after he pleaded guilty to using indecent language, disorderly conduct, using abusive and calumnious language and issuing a threat to police officers.

The entertainer was charged and placed before the court for his foulmouthed tirade towards the police during Unruly Fest..

However, he was ordered to return to court today in relation to the Noise Abatement Act charge.
