A Paisley thug has avoided jail after threatening to “chop up” his neighbour’s dog.
Bully Craig Tuthill had spent the night drinking Buckfast on August 3 last year when he threatened his female neighbour that he would “chop up” her dog if it continued to use his garden to do the toilet.
The drunken 37-year-old caused Orchy Crescent neighbours so much stress and alarm that they dialled 999 after he went off on a rampage and began banging doors and walls.
