Oz man chooses jail over alcohol restrictions

ANI Melbourne

A man has asked to be jailed for three months instead of following a two year ban on drinking ordered by a court.

Milo Manu Felix Wild, 22 asked for a jail term because he was depressed that he had to stay at home rather than socializing with friends in pubs and clubs, News.com.au reported.

Magistrate John O'Neill said that the move was 'extraordinary' and that Wild thought that his life was not worth living without alcohol.

Wild had been banned from drinking alcohol following his indecent manner on Anzac Day last year when he pushed over four port-a-loos, exposed himself and threw his own urine at rangers at Litchfield National Park.

 

He was sentenced on November 23 to three months' jail to be suspended for two years during which time he had to be of good behavior and not drink alcohol.
