A 23-year-old man who caused a disturbance on a bus in Dunfermline and threatened other passengers has been jailed.
Andrew Cunningham was travelling from Glenrothes to Glasgow but was told to leave the bus in Dunfermline after causing trouble throughout the journey.
Cunningham, of Toryglen Road, Rutherglen, was jailed for eight months at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
He admitted that on October 29 at Halbeath Road, Dunfermline, on a bus travelling between Glenrothes and Dunfermline, he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, causing alarm and annoyance to passengers, threatening them with violence and shouted and swore at the bus driver.
Depute fiscal Louise Ward said that at 6.40pm Cunningham boarded a bus at Glenrothes and was under the influence of alcohol.
Defence solicitor Roshni Johshi admitted her client had “an unenviable record” and was currently on a community payback order.
She said: “He acknowledges this was no way to behave, particularly on a bus.”
Sheriff Craig McSherry said the abuse had been vile.
