The 22-year-old also behaved threateningly while being transported from Grangemouth Road, Falkirk to Falkirk Police Station on May 27.

Wilson appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last week.
Defence solicitor Lynn Swann said: “It called on July 21 and was deferred for good behaviour and a progress report to be prepared.”
The court was told Wilson had made no progress with an unpaid work order, however, Sheriff Christopher Shead noted, due to coronavirus restrictions, this didn’t “appear to be his problem”.
Deferring sentence to give Wilson an “opportunity to avoid custody”, Sheriff Shead said: “I expect him and social work, particularly him, to show a willingness to make significant progress in relation to the hours outstanding.

Sentence was deferred for an updated report and Wilson to be of good behaviour until October 21 to allow the court to “place a substantial unpaid work order”.
A previous 7pm-7am curfew condition was removed.
