A Renfrewshire man has been returned to prison after he was caught in possession of drugs the same day he was released from custody.
Gary Maxwell was released early from serving a prison sentence on December 31, 2025.
But it wasn’t long before Maxwell had attracted the attention of police officers.
The 38-year-old thug was caught in possession of Class B drug, cannabis at a property in Cowal Drive in Linwood on Hogmanay - hours after being released from custody.
While at the Cowal Drive properly, Maxwell was also in possession of a glass bottle, described as “an offensive weapon” without “reasonable excuse.”
When cops arrested him, out-of-control Maxwell, who appeared in the dock last week at Paisley Sheriff Court from custody, caused “fear or alarm” while en-route to Greenock police station by acting in an aggressive manner, repeatedly shouting, swearing, repeatedly uttering threats of violence, challenging officers to a fight and by repeatedly spitting.
Today, Sheriff Clare Arias returned Maxwell back to prison to serve the unexpired portion of his sentence being 49days.
Thereafter, she sentenced him to 115 days behind bars.
