A PARKHALL man who threatened to batter police officers has been warned he’ll end up in jail if he can’t control his temper.

Andrew Summers called one officer a “wee baldy p***k” and claimed he would “slap him about” during a foul-mouthed rant in March last year.

He appeared at Dumbarton Sheriff Court for sentencing on Friday and was told that he is “running the ragged edge of jail”.

The court heard that Summers, 27, contacted police at around 5.10pm on March 19, 2021 to report concern for his mother.

Police attended Rowan Drive in Clydebank and after speaking with all parties involved, Summers stated that he “hated the police and didn’t know who else to contact”.

The fiscal depute told last week’s hearing: “The mother started walking away towards a public road, and an officer stepped in front of her and told her not to leave.

“The accused became instantly aggressive, shouting to police to “get the f**k away from her”.

“The officers said they were just trying to help.

“The accused shouted in the face of police: ‘F*****g p***k, f*****g c**t, I will do the lot of you.’”

Summers also shouted: “I don’t give a f**k what uniform you’ve got on, I’ll square go the lot of you.”

He then called one officer an “English c**t”, before threatening to “batter the f*****g lot of you”.

Calling another officer a “wee baldy p***k” and threatening to “slap him about”, Summers said: “I don’t give a f**k who you are.”

Defence solicitor Judith Reid said her client had been attending anger management sessions since the incident, and some of his issues were being addressed under a supervision order imposed for a separate offence.

Sheriff John Hamilton said: “He has a bad temper and that reaction when the police were trying to help him was pretty atrocious.”

Issuing a community payback order, the sheriff told Summers: “If you breach this order all bets are off.

“You are running on the ragged edge of jail at the moment.

“If you don’t control your temper you will end up in jail.”

Summers, of Parkhall Terrace, will be supervised by social workers for 12 months and must carry out 120 hours of unpaid work in the community within 12 months.

A review of the order was set for March.
