The court heard he was sent to prison for five months, in June 2016, for assault and criminal damage, and owed the court £450.
Emma Cornell, mitigating, said: “He has been a drug user for the last few years after the breakdown of a relationship.
“He has now been assigned a drug worker and is now on a methadone script.”
He was given a 12 day prison sentence, suspended until he pays off the outstanding debt to the court.
For damaging the wiper, he was fined £93, with costs of £85 and £30 compensation.
