Making racist comments and committing a breach of the peace, cost Ricky Morrison a £165 fine.
Morrison, 22, of High Buckholmside, Galashiels, admitted disorderly conduct at Galashiels Police Station on January 7.
Depute fiscal Tessa Bradley told how Morrison was “extremely drunk” when he was arrested and taken to Galashiels Police Station.
“At 2.40am the same morning, he returned to the police station, and refused to leave, shouting and swearing, and making racist remarks about staff from a takeaway,” said Ms Bradley.
Morrison was warned about his behaviour and police tried to usher him away, but his “tirade of racial abuse continued”.
Defence solicitor Heather Stewart said her client, a first offender, had spent a weekend in custody as a result of his offending.
“He is disgusted and taken aback by his behaviour,” said Miss Stewart.
“He was a student at the time and had been binge drinking, and was shocked and upset by his behaviour,” she added.
Morrison, who had been of good behaviour during six months of deferred sentence, was told by Sheriff Kevin Drummond: “I take account of the fact that you spent a weekend in custody, but this was quite disgraceful behaviour.”
