A MAN headbutted a police officer and punched his sister’s partner in the face during a drunken tirade.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard last week how Patrick Riley ­travelled to his sister’s home in Rhymer Street on October 29, last year.

Procurator fiscal depute Jessica McGowan said he arrived under the influence and acted in an aggressive and abusive manner.

She said: “He was asked to leave and was, eventually, ushered from the property.

“He continued to be aggressive and then punched his sister’s partner to the face.”

After the assault, the 37-year-old travelled further along the street to his parents’ home.

There he continued his “tirade of abusive behaviour towards his ­elderly parents,” Ms McGowan

said.

She said: “He was requested to leave but refused to do so.

“Police attended [at his sister’s home] and observed swelling to the face of the witness.

“Police attended his parents’ home and observed him walking from the front garden.”

Officers informed Riley, of Charles Street in Royston, of the allegations and placed him under arrest.

Riley responded: “That’s bulls***.”

A medical concern prompted officers to prompted officers to transport Riley to hospital to be check over, where he was confirmed to be fit.

He was then taken to Cathcart Police Station.

On October 30, the court heard Riley began to behave in a threatening and aggressive manner.

He was lunging towards

police and headbutted an officer’s face, prompting him to be ­restrained.

Riley’s defence agent said his client had informed social workers he was “ashamed” and “embarrassed” by his behaviour.

He added Riley had “great respect” for the police and his family, however, had been experiencing problems with alcohol dependency for the last 10 years, which had played a part in the breakdown of his relationship.

However, Riley, who pleaded guilty to the charges last month, has been taking steps to “curtail” any alcohol problems since November.

The defence agent also insisted Riley has no recollection of the events and is “mortified by his conduct”.

He told the court the police officer was not injured.

Riley was placed on a community payback order with supervision for 12 months with intervention from the social work department, as well as a requirement to engage with the community addiction team as required for 12 months.

He was also given a financial penalty of £150 down from £200 and a victim surcharge will also be added.

Riley has three months to make the payment.
