‘Informal adult warning’ for councillor after incident at SNP office

A Dundee councillor has been issued with an “informal warning” by police following an assault at the city’s SNP parliamentary office.

Officers had charged environment convener Craig Melville after they received a complaint about an incident involving a work colleague at the Old Glamis Road premises in December 2014.

After examining the circumstances, Police Scotland has closed the investigation and issued him with an “informal adult warning”.

A spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland can confirm that a 35-year-old man received an informal adult warning after an incident.”

Mr Melville, who is a councillor for the Maryfield area of the city, confirmed that the “minor incident” had been “dealt with”.
