When he was arrested, he was restrained and handcuffed, but Taylor threatened to punch an officer.
Later he admitted he was driving, but only for about two yards.
At the police station, he was too drunk to be charged and was placed in a cell to sober up until the following morning.
Peter Barnett, defending, said his client was very remorseful.
Taylor was desperately trying to pick up the pieces of his relationship with his partner and children, and at the time was suffering anxiety and depression following the death of his best friend.
