A police prosecutor told the court Coghlan first attended The Yiros King in Reynella on Sunday night, July 11, when employees observed Coghlan allegedly taking drink from the fridge without paying before he made his way over to the counter and began eating the ice cream with his hands.

“He was smoking a cigarette and trying to remove hand sanitiser and drinks from the fridge,” she said.

“He then ate ice cream from the tubs with his hands and throwing the ice cream around the shop, swearing at staff and customers.”

Just a mere 24 hours later, Coghlan returned to ‘junk food corner’, allegedly heavily intoxicated, making his way into the Pancake Kitchen where witnesses observed Coghlan walking up to a table and eating their leftovers.

He was charged with disorderly behaviour and failing to comply with a bail agreement.
