The prosecution said the damage to the car and provoking behaviour occurred in the early hours of March 15th outside the Star Grill on Marina Road in Douglas.

Kelch made racist comments and shouted other abuse at staff and then kicked a van outside after he was removed from the premises.

Following his arrest he told officers he was very drunk and couldn't recall the incident.
