Drunk stole booze and caused havoc in Paisley shop in bid to 'get the jail'

A drunk who stole booze and caused havoc in a Paisley shop just 24 hours after being arrested has been branded a “public danger” by a sheriff.

William Edwards trashed a display and behaved threateningly towards staff at Tesco Express filling station in Paisley’s Renfrew Road on December 14 last year - 24 hours after being lifted by cops for a ‘carbon copy’ incident in Glasgow’s Crookston.

The 30-year-old refused to leave, lifted cans of cider off the shelf and began drinking before refusing to pay at both premises in a bid to ‘get the jail’.
