A 20-year-old Dundee man has admitted buying under-age Angus drinkers booze.
Steven McAdam was approached by the teenagers, aged 14 and 15, near Partytime in Arbroath’s Culloden Road in April last year.
Fiscal depute Hannah Kennedy told Forfar Sheriff Court he then drank some of the alcohol with the teenagers, but when a number of them went home drunk he was subsequently traced by police.
McAdam, of Albert Street, Dundee, also admitted a charge of assaulting a man and woman in Stoneycroft Lane, Arbroath, on March 1.
The court heard McAdam knew his female victim but had not previously met her partner, who was with her at the time of the incident.
“The woman confronted him about money that had previously gone missing from her purse and the accused attempted to strike her, but the other complainer got in between them and he then punched him on the body,” the fiscal added.
The female complainer had a tooth knocked out in the incident.
Defence agent Billy Rennie said that all the parties involved in the assault incident had been drinking together and were well under the influence.
Sheriff Pino Di Emidio placed McAdam on a two-year community payback order in relation to the assault matter and deferred sentence on the Licensing Act offence until March 26 next year.
