On May 4, 2021 he was arrested at Butlers cafe on Wicklow Street, where he was abusive to staff.
He told gardaí that the "people in the shop were liars".
On May 12, 2021, Delgarno returned to the Grafton Street cafe at 12.30am and urinated up against the window.
He was abusive to the investigating gardaí and was shown CCTV footage of him doing it.
Delgarno was found with a Stanley knife on O'Connell Street on May 16 last month.
His previous convictions included 64 for breach of the peace and 40 for being intoxicated in public.
