A DRUNK man threatened garage staff, let his dog run wild and racially abused a black police officer who was left concerned for the safety of his family.

Robin Bayer also urinated on a desk in the police station and vandalised his own cell after a night drinking in Worcester.

Bayer, aged 26, of Chedworth Drive, Warndon, Worcester, admitted racially aggravated public order, a further public order offence and criminal damage following a series of incidents on Wednesday, January 27 when he appeared before city magistrates on Friday.

Owen Beale, prosecuting said a taxi driver alerted police to an altercation in Bath Road involving the defendant.

When officers spoke to another man at the scene he did not want to pursue a complaint against Bayer.

A police sergeant later found Bayer in the Commandery service station in Bath Road.

Mr Beale said: “He was walking around the petrol station in an agitated state with his fists clenched and followed by a Staffordshire bull terrier dog.”

Staff members told the officer they had been abused and threatened and ‘had been afraid for their safety’.

Mr Beale said: “His dog came into the store off the lead. He [Bayer] was saying ‘I know where you live, I’m going to get you for calling the police’.

“He said to one member of staff he was going to knock them out. His eyes were bulging and he was incoherent in his speech.”

When he was arrested he urinated up the front of the desk in Worcester Police Station and was abusive to the custody sergeant.

He swore at a black officer and made offensive reference to his skin colour and threats to that man’s family, including that he would ‘rape his wife’.

Bayer was taken to a police cell and strip searched and later vandalised his cell door with graffiti, writing ‘Robin Bayer was here, 2016’.

Later Bayer claimed he remembered nothing except the graffiti on the hatch of the cell.

The black officer made a victim personal statement in which he said he found the incident ‘alarming and distressing’.

Mr Beale said: “He felt he had been targeted because of his skin colour which made him feel vulnerable as a black police officer and as an individual.

“The threats made to his wife and family alarmed him. He had even discussed it with his wife what precautions she should take.”

The woman in the garage said in her statement: “I felt he was going to make the dog attack me. I felt he had come in that night with the intention of threatening me.”

Judith Kenney, defending, said Bayer had told her his actions in the cell had been ‘absolutely stupid’.

Mrs Kenney said the incident in the garage began because he believed he had been given the incorrect change which was ‘down to drink’.

She said he tendered a ‘profuse apology’ both to the woman at the garage and the officer he had racially abused after he was arrested.

“This is a night of binge drinking and he drank himself into such a stupor he didn’t know what he was doing.

“He has no recollection of going in with the dog.”

Mrs Kenney also said her client had been ‘talking rubbish’ and ‘absolute nonsense’.

She added: “He has no axe to grind with him (the black officer) and is ashamed for what he did say to him.”

However, she said he had asked to use the toilet and urinated against the desk because he could no longer wait.

He was fined £80 for the racially aggravated public order, £40 for the second public order offence and £80 for the criminal damage to the cell.

Bayer was also ordered to pay £50 in compensation to each victim, £135 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
