A teenage cook who threatened to “deck” the boss of a hotel in St Fillans and was later spotted wielding a meat cleaver has been ordered to stay sober for the next 18 months.
Perth Sheriff Court heard David McCutcheon was working as a chef and staying at the Achray House Hotel when he threatened owner and director Laura Muirhead with violence earlier this year.
Fiscal depute Elizabeth Hodgson told the court last week Ms Muirhead was in her bedroom on February 28 when she heard “a loud bang” in the car park.
