A Fife man threatened to make bombs and said he could kill the Queen in a series of nuisance calls to police 999 call handlers.
Andrew Dean, 61, repeatedly claimed during the calls he was part of the SAS and wanted to speak with politicians about it, Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard.
Procurator fiscal depute Amy Robertson said Dean had also asked to be “put through to M16”.
The fiscal depute said: “There were then 12 further phone calls making reference to wishing to kill people and wishing to be arrested by the police”.
Ms Robertson said during one phone call shortly before midnight, Dean “made threats to make bombs” and further threats that he “could kill the Queen”.
The fiscal depute said there were more phone calls which made reference to the same subject matter.
The incidents took place between August 28 and October 14 this year.
Banned from emergency services contact
Dean, of Dunfermline‘s Macbeth Road, pled guilty to three offences under the Communications Act 2003 when he appeared in court from custody this week.
He admitted repeatedly calling 999 when there was no emergency, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to police area control room staff.
He also admitted making phone calls to call handlers that were grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character by making offensive and derogatory remarks and repeatedly uttering threats of violence.
His last offence on October 14 was also a breach of an undertaking to attend court.
Defence lawyer John Harper told the court Dean accepts he repeatedly engaged in this behaviour while intoxicated, though it is against a background of declining mental health and poor physical health.
The court heard Dean had a previous conviction from 2012 for an analogous offence.
Sheriff Mark Thorley adjourned sentencing until November 16 for the production of background reports.
The sheriff said Dean would be released on bail with a special condition that he does not contact emergency services unless it is a true emergency.
