A Methven man who pitched up at a property in Perth out of the blue - and demanded a couple give him money owed to him - produced an axe when they failed to hand over the sum.
Andrew Charles Donaldson went on to threaten he would hurt the couple’s son who he claimed owed him the amount in a desperate bid to secure cash to pay his rent, Perth Sheriff Court was told last week.
A solicitor acting for Donaldson explained he turned up at the address in Muircroft Terrace West unexpectedly one day in July last year to demand the cash because he had fallen behind with payments for his house.
