Bannockburn man injured police officer after throwing plant pot

A Bannockburn man injured a police officer by throwing a plant pot at him.

Alexander Kellas, of Douglas Street, had admitted a charge of assaulting a male constable to his injury at Greenacre Court in the town on May 28 last year.

The 56-year-old also pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting a woman by pushing her on the body at an address in Greenacre Court on the same date.

Kellas further admitted charges of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner at Greenacre Court and en route to Falkirk Police Office and resisting police officers by struggling violently with them.

However, his not guilty pleas to two charges of having an offensive weapon – a fire extinguisher and a large ceramic plant pot – as well as a charge of recklessly destroying property belonging to another, by breaking a plant pot, were all accepted by the Crown.

At Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday, Sheriff Peter Grant-Hutchison further deferred sentence on Kellas until February 16 for his personal appearance. Bail was continued meantime.
