An 18-year-old has pleaded guilty to obstructing police on duty following an incident outside McDonald's in Harrogate yesterday.
Alfie Stevens, of Coates Street, Bradford, appeared before York Magistrates Court today.
He was charged with obstructing a constable in the execution of their duty and breaching bail conditions, however, the latter charge was withdrawn by the court.
Magistrates took Stevens' guilty plea into account and closed the case after concluding his time spent in detention in custody was sufficient.
A 16-year-old girl was also charged with obstructing a constable in the execution of their duty, as well as obstructing a person assisting a constable in execution of their duty.
She is due to appear at Harrogate Youth Court next month.
The incident took place at 1.40pm outside McDonald's on Cambridge Road.
