Dumb plus unlucky.
From The West Australian newspaper:
A determined concert goer, who was ejected by police from the weekend's Busselton's Southbound festival, has been placed on a good-behaviour bond after he refused to comply with police orders to leave the event.
Police said that an officer saw 18-year-old Andrew Gregory Richens, of Como, pass a can of alcohol from inside the licensed premises to his juvenile friend who was outside the licenced area.
The officer issued Mr Richens with a move on notice from the concert.
A short time later, the same officer noticed Mr Richens jumping around on the stage of the event, this time dressed in a new set of clothes.
The officer then issued him with a breach of move-on notice and charged him with trespass.
Mr Richens was released on bail to leave the Busselton area.
The same officer then bumped into him for a third time shortly after, inside the concert venue. He had again changed his clothes but to no avail.
Police charged Mr Richens with breach of bail, two counts of trespass, failing to comply with a police officer and supplying a juvenile with liquor.
He spent the night in the local lock-up until he appeared in the Busselton Magistrate's Court today.
In court the prosecution withdrew the charge of failing to comply with his bail and Mr Richens pleaded guilty to the four remaining charges.
A spent conviction was recorded and Mr Richen was placed on a six-month $1500 good behaviour bond and ordered to pay court costs of $55.
(In an earlier report the policeman was quoted as saying, 'I told him not to buy a lottery ticket this weekend'.)
