A man whom a court heard had "displayed poor lavatorial etiquette" by urinating on his mother's doorstep was today facing a curfew order.
Declan Hogg, 25, turned up under the influence of alcohol at his mother's house in Slammannan, Stirlingshire, and wasn't allowed in, the court was told.
He began swearing at the front door and shouting "you're a fat w****" and "I'm going to p*** against your door".
Prosecutor Catherine Fraser said "He smashed a plant pot against the window in the door, causing damage to both, and then in a display of poor lavatorial etiquette he did in fact urinate against the door."
He then went round to the back of the house and tried to get in through the back door, shouting and picking up a football and throwing it at the kitchen window, upsetting the 10-year-old son of a neighbour who saw what was going on.
Police were called and, hearing sirens, Hogg climbed over his mother's back garden fence in a bid to flee.
Ms Fraser said: "He was eventually arrested, and whilst being transported to the custody suite he stated, 'My maw's saying I peed on the floor, phone my lawyer and make him take swabs off the floor, I've done nothing wrong, my maw said I p***** on the floor."
Hogg, of Falkirk, a time-served joiner, pleaded guilty to statutory breach of the peace.
The incident occurred at 11.45 am on September 26th, 2020.
Hogg's solicitor Simon Hutchison said: "This was outrageous behaviour. He tells me he was very depressed and he was drinking far too much. That's all behind him now."
Sheriff Derek Livingston deferred sentence on Hogg until March 10th for a background report and a restriction of liberty order assessment, which is required before the court can impose a curfew and electronic tagging order.
He told Mr Huthchison: "I am highly unimpressed by your client's behaviour.
"I can imagine his mother might be a good deal less than happy about this."
