A RISCA man has been hit with a fine, after being convicted of drunk and disorderly behaviour at a railway station.

Jeffrey Kenneth Daniel Gould pleaded guilty to one count of being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

The 67-year-old, of Thistle Way, appeared before Cardiff Magistrates Court on Tuesday, January 18, having been charged with the offence.

Gould was found to have acted in a disorderly manner while drunk, at Cardiff Central Railway Station on December 18, 2021.

For this, Gould was issued with a £40 fine.

His guilty plea was taken into account when this was handed out – as it would otherwise have been £60.

He was also made to pay costs of £85 to the Crown Prosecution Service, and a £34 surcharge to fund victim services.

All told, the balance to pay stands at £159.
