Procurator fiscal depute Eilidh Smith said: “It was 7.30pm and police received a 999 call from a resident in Kingseat Avenue about someone who had broken into an address and was still there.

"When police arrived the accused had just left the ground floor flat. They attempted to move him over to the police vehicle and he then became aggressive.

"He started to shout and swear and make threats of violence saying ‘I’ll kill you’. He kicked out several times and kicked one officer in the face, causing his lip to bleed.”

Sheriff Christopher Shead placed Day, 20F Kerse Road, Grangemouth, on a supervised community payback order for 18 months and told him to complete 270 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.
