A man in his 50s was fined $1632 for failing to provide a valid reason for being outside his home.
A Warrnambool police spokesperson said the man failed to move on from outside Coles supermarket on Lava Street, Warrnambool, and was "causing a ruckus down the street".
The incident occurred around 3pm on Monday.
