A drunk dad exposed his genitals and urinated in font of two young boys inside a busy shopping centre.
Michael Cooper had been to a 50th birthday party before he decided to relieve himself outside John Lewis, on the ground floor of Eldon Square, in Newcastle city centre. A court heard that two disgusted teenage boys, thought to be between 13 and 15, spotted what the 54-year-old was doing and reported him to a nearby security guard.
Cooper, of Woolsington Gardens, in Woolsington, Newcastle, was interrupted, later arrested and appeared before magistrates in the city to plead guilty to one count of outraging public decency. He was fined £300 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £120 victim surcharge.
