A bouncer has been ordered to do 100 hours unpaid community work after brandishing a rounders bat during a confrontation in a pub. Gregory Lysaght, aged 41, went into the F and R pub in Northumberland Place, Teignmouth, after a row with fellow doormen. He was caught on CCTV holding the bat in a threatening manner as he edged around a pool table during an argument in which no violence ensued. Security worker Lysaght, of Newton Road, Torquay, admitted having a bat and a metal bar as offensive weapons in the pub on February 11 last year. He was made subject of a two year community order and Judge Phillip Wassall, at Exeter Crown Court, also ordered him to do 100 hours unpaid community work. The Judge told him he was able to impose a sentence in the community because the incident had not resulted in actual violence. He said:"When someone arms themselves with a weapon and goes into the public house it is a very serious matter, whether they are frightened or not." The court was shown CCTV taken in the pub, which showed Lysaght entering and then confronting a group of three or four large men standing near the pool table. He then pulled out and waved a short rounder's bat from his jacket before leaving the pub. Alex Allsop, prosecuting, said: "He armed himself with the bat and takes it out of his pocket and there is movement around the pool table. "There is no sign of alarm from anyone and when interviewed by police he said he armed himself because he was fearful for his own safety." Rupert Taylor, mitigating, said Lysaght took the bat with him because he had a dispute with a group of other doormen and was worried he may need to defend himself. He said:"He did not use it or brandish it and after a short conversation with the other men he left and there is no more to it. He says the other men are all known ruffians and there had been some unpleasantness between them."
