Patient was aggressive at Ninewells A&E after taking legal highs

Jevin Wilkie, 23, of Dalrymple Terrace, was placed under one year’s supervision at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Wilkie admitted a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, throwing a hospital phone on to the floor and kicking hospital equipment at Ninewells Hospital A&E on January 21.

The court heard Wilkie was admitted to hospital the night before the offence due to intoxication from taking alcohol and legal highs.

Fiscal depute Jennifer Johnson said: “The accused woke up at 10am and was told his stuff had been taken home the previous evening by his parents.

“He immediately became aggressive, shouted, swore and picked up a phone and threw it on the floor. He then walked out of his hospital room and kicked a trolley.”
