A MAN threatened a cop should “watch what he’s doing” after claiming he “found the c**t on Facebook” and knew where he lived.

Andrew Carrick, 31, recognised an officer from a previous incident he was involved in when police spoke to him at the A&E department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary on January 6, 2022.

He said “you’re the one that got f****g wide with me last time” as he began to grit his teeth and clench his fists.

Carrick began to puff his chest outwards and made threats.

Referring to another officer from the previous incident, Carrick said: “See [officer’s name], he had his name on the paperwork my misses got and I found the c**t on Facebook."

He appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court this week charged with uttering threats of violence.

Procurator fiscal depute Brogan Moffat said: “The accused said ‘I looked him up and found him. He stays in a high rise or something. I seen his black dog and I know where he walks it. What is it, a rottweiler?’”

“The accused continued: ‘Is he allowed Facebook being a polis? I don’t think he should, because it means c***s who want to pull him could find him. I would watch what I was doing if I was him’.”

Carrick then began to swear loudly and shouted, “you calling me a f*****g liar, I’m telling you, if I have to go back to Govan, I'm gonna batter f**k out him”.

He was asked to calm down and replied “i’ll f*****g smash you, you’re f*****g getting it”.

Carrick continued to make threats and was taken to Cathcart police office, where he was not formally cautioned and charged due to his level of aggression.

His defence solicitor said his client was “just mouthing off”.

He added: “He had not made any enquiries. He had taken a large amount of valium.

“He does not remember but recognises he should not have behaved in that way. He’s not come to the attention of the police again.

“He is currently subject to a community payback order which was imposed last month. It’s in the early stages, but he is complying. He tells me he wants to engage with this.”

Sheriff Vincent Lunny told Carrick: “This goes beyond shouting and swearing at police. I’m taking it at face value that these are empty threats.”

He ordered Carrick to stay within his Springburn home between 7pm-7am for 18 weeks, as a direct alternative to custody.

The sheriff added: “If you breach it, jail will be the first thing on my mind.”
