Abbie Edwards, mitigating, said: “The argument broke out over putting the television on and he refused because he had other company.”

The complainant began shouting and screaming drunkenly, said Ms Edwards, and Perry pushed her away. She was not injured.

He was given a six month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
