The court heard from prosecutor Mark Hambling that the 21-year-old defendant had used threatening or abusive words or behaviour within the sight or hearing of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm, or distress in Hereford on November 20, contrary to the Public Order Act.
Reynolds, who is of Pixley Walk in Hereford, was fined £120 for the offence, with magistrates saying that they had taken his guilty plea into account when deciding on the penalty.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £135 and a £48 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
