A sheriff has called for background reports to be prepared on a 23-year-old man from Kinross before he is sentenced for making a series of violent threats towards police then attempting to set his dog on them.
Michael Horne was put on a structured deferred sentence last year for uttering threats towards officers like “I’m going to f***ing stab you” and “I’m going to kick your f***ing c*** in” then ordering his Staffordshire bull terrier to attack them.
Perth Sheriff Court previously heard Horne grew hostile towards police almost immediately after they arrived outside his home in Avenue Road on July 2, 2020, firstly by asking them “what the f***” they were doing at his door then following this up by telling them to “f*** off”.
