A MAN who headbutted a pub window, causing £500 worth of damage, has been jailed.
John Cummings, 33, of Francis Street, hit the window at Yuppies, Seagate.
Fiscal depute Vicki Bell said the incident happened around 1.40am on a busy Saturday.
The fiscal said: “Police officers were on foot patrol in the Seagate area when they saw the accused standing outside Yuppies.
“He was shouting and swearing at members of the public and staff in the pub. The two officers approached him and it was established he had been walking in the Seagate area and acting aggressively then stopped outside the bar and began shouting and swearing at people. Then, without warning, he headbutted an outside window at Yuppies, causing it to break.”
Solicitor David Duncan, defending, said Cummings had an “entrenched” alcohol problem.
Cummings admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, acting aggressively and headbutting a window, causing it to smash. And he admitted a second offence of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, acting aggressively and uttering threats of violence at Ninewells Hospital, on May 7.
Sheriff Alastair Brown sentenced Cummings to eight months’ imprisonment for the offence at Seagate, and three months’ jail for the offence at Ninewells, both of which are to run concurrently.
