Man urinating in street claims to be Capt Jean-Luc Picard

A man told police who stopped him for urinating in the street that he was the captain of the Starship Enterprise, a court has heard.

Kenneth Clinton, 49, claimed to be the Star Trek: The Next Generation character Jean-Luc Picard.

He then punched and kicked at two officers on Botanic Avenue in Belfast.

He admitted indecent behaviour and two counts of assault on police. The judge gave him a 12-month conditional discharge.
Clinton, of Brittons Parade in the city, was spotted urinating on 31 July last year.

day L.A. and was deemed mentally unstable. Maybe, just maybe, this guy is Jean-Luc Piccard and travelled back in a time warp to present day Belfast?

Or maybe this thread belongs in the Creative Speculation Group?
