The court heard on December 25, police stopped Mr Jones in Aldinga for a blood-alcohol test where he allegedly returned a high reading before being transported back to the police station and returned a further reading of 0.134.

“He requested to use the toilet at the station, he began to swear using the words f**k and c**t repeatedly,” the police prosecutor alleged.

“He then defecated, smearing faeces along the top side and outside of the toilet, deliberately soiling the toilet

“He continued to be belligerent towards police using the word c**t on a number of occasions.”

Mr Jones spent just over an hour in custody.

At the beginning of the hearing Mr Jones indicated he was going to plead guilty to the charges but later refused to accept the police facts of charge.

“They’re not my charges … I think you should check that because that’s not me,” he said. “They’re not mine.”

Magistrate Natalie Browne struck out the guilty pleas and instructed Mr Jones to seek some legal advice.

Mr Jones will return to court at a later date.
