A man who went on a drunken rampage has been fined £500 and ordered to pay a total of £1,000 compensation.
Garry Lee Gray, 27, smashed windows at Pie Bob’s in Arbroath. When police approached Gray after his shop rampage, he stood in front of the vehicle then jumped on the bonnet and smashed the windscreen.
He then jumped up and down on the roof and refused to get down before he was pulled down by a police officer.
He caused more than £1,000 of damage because he thought a woman working there was responsible for his parents’ marriage break-up.
Gray must now pay £500 compensation each to Pie Bob’s and Police Scotland as well as the £500 fine imposed by Sheriff Murray.
Gray, of Newton Avenue, previously admitted throwing a chair along the side of a car park on June 16 and approaching a man and a woman in a threatening and aggressive manner.
He also admitted assaulting a man, repeatedly poking him on the body, causing him to step backwards, and grabbing him by the upper arm.
He further admitted threatening to damage property and threatening to burn down Pie Bob’s.
The charges also included smashing the fascia at Pie Bob’s by throwing a chair and thereafter smashing two toughened laminated glass windows by throwing chairs and a table at them, causing the table and chair to break, jumping on the bonnet of a marked police vehicle and its windscreen, causing it to smash, and then jumping on the roof, causing a large dent.
He also resisted arrest by lashing out at two police officers with his arms and legs, and struggled violently. The value of the damage to Pie Bob’s was £800 and the police car repair bill was £234.
Sentence was previously deferred until Tuesday for Gray to save up compensation and the court heard that he had saved up £250.
