News / MacDougall warned
SCALLOWAY man Ross MacDougall was fined £800 at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Thursday for two counts of breaching the peace last year.
Twenty five year old MacDougall, of 15 Undirhoull, had previously pled guilty to the charges, both involving him behaving in a threatening manner at two addresses in Lerwick.
On 18 November MacDougall entered a flat in the town’s St Olaf’s Street without being invited, refused to leave when told to do so, turned over a coffee table and broke a glass and a sound system speaker.
On 27 December he forced entry into an address at Grostane and threatened the occupants there.
Sheriff Philip Mann warned MacDougall that he had accumulated a “wee bit of a record here” that could eventually result in a prison sentence.
