Ryan Oliver, 23, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, having pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening manner – shouting, swearing and making threats of violence – at an address in Kerse Road, Grangemouth on October 29 last year.

Sean Iles, procurator fiscal depute, said: “It was 9pm and the accused was in the address intoxicated. There was an argument between the accused and persons within the house and the accused started to shout and swear.

"He referred to the witness as ‘gay’ and threatened to ‘smash him’. Police were contacted.”

Defence solicitor Simon Hutchison said: “We see here a young man with a bit of an alcohol problem. He has self-referred himself to Change Grow Live.”
