A hirsute husband loved his beard so much he flew into a rage when his wife threatened to trim it.
George Gray appeared at Perth Sheriff Court after being arrested for subjecting his wife to a foul-mouthed tirade when she said she would tackle his unkempt appearance.
The 39-year-old, of Magpie Way in Perth, admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at home on July 20 last year by repeatedly shouting and swearing in a manner likely to cause fear and alarm.
Solicitor Cliff Culley, defending, said: “He didn’t deal with it well and behaved in this way.
“It was caused by his intake of alcohol.”
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: “Your behaviour was unacceptable, but you have remained of good behaviour since then and have reconciled, so I’m going to admonish you.”
