Loyalist Jamie Bryson challenged police investigating a breach of a Parades Commission determination to arrest him after refusing to voluntarily present himself for questioning.
Bangor Protestant Boys defied a commission determination in August, playing the hymn 'mine eyes have seen the glory' during an Apprentice Boys parade, despite a ruling forbidding music from being played along the section of the route passing St Patrick's Church in north Belfast.
The band later defended the decision posting a statement on social media stating they took a conscious decision to breach the "draconian, oppressive and utterly ludicrous determination".
Adding that they had did so in a "non-violent and peaceful act of civil disobedience. We make no apology for this."
Apprentice Boys spokesman Chris McGimpsey said at the time that the "Apprentice Boys club supported them in that decision".
Bryson, who walks in the band as a 'deacon' and doesn't play an instrument, was visited by police yesterday and asked to voluntarily present himself for questioning.
However, the 25-year-old loyalist said if police wanted to speak to him about the parade then they can arrest him. It is believed that other members of the controversial band have also said they will not voluntarily cooperate any police investigation.
"The fact the PSNI are seeking, almost pleading for my agreement to voluntarily come in for an interview shows they are pandering to the weak, ambiguous and fatally flawed parading legislation," he claimed.
"If the PSNI want to speak to me in relation to carrying a stick whilst my band played a hymn, then I am not exactly inconspicuous or difficult to find.
"They are welcome to come and arrest me at any time. Mohammad can come to the mountain".
The Bangor loyalist was found guilty earlier this year of taking part in unlawful processions linked to the loyalist flag protests that started in December 2012 following a decision by Belfast city council to only fly the union flag on designated days.
An appeal of the conviction is to he heard in February next year.
