A BOLTON teenager was arrested for being drunk and disorderly during the Mela Asian festival in Blackburn's Corporation Park.
Muksood Adam, aged 18, of East Park Street, Bolton, who pleaded guilty, was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £55 costs by Blackburn magistrates.
The court was told that Adam was arrested by a police officer who went to help security staff as they struggled to eject Adam from the park.
Adam said he was with his friends in the crowd and had accidentally elbowed a few people as he was jumping around. "I didn't understand why I was being chucked out," he said.
