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obstructing a constable in the execution of their duty and breaching bail conditions, however, the latter charge was withdrawn by the court.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.

Boy, 17, electronically tagged after Harrogate crime spree
A teenager has been sentenced to an electronically monitored curfew for breaching a court order issued after committing a string of offences in Harrogate.
The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Harrogate Youth Court on March 3 after failing to comply with an order issued in August last year.
