A man is facing jail after threatening to slit a woman cop's throat and bury her at an incident in Falkirk.
Graham MacAllister, 42, was searched after police were called to Carronside Street, Stirling Sheriff Court was told.
He failed to warn officers that he had sharp objects, and three knives and a Stanley blade were found in his pockets.
He told PC Courtney Craik, and also PC Michael Anderson, "If I see you by yourself I'll f***ing kill you.
"I'll happily slit your throats.
"I'll happily bury you."
Prosecutor Kristina Kelly said MacAllister was arrested and taken to Livingston Police Station.
The incident happened around 5.00am on April 4, 2021.
Father-of-two MacAllister, of Laurieston, Falkirk, pleaded guilty on Wednesday, April 20, to using threatening and abusive behaviour, and culpable recklessness in failing to warn police about the blades.
Solicitor-advocate Martin Morrow, defending, said MacAllister had the items because he had just collected them from others to prevent trouble.
Sheriff Keith O'Mahony deferred sentence until June 1st for reports.
He warned: "Custody is very much an option."
