A Stirling thug who tried to rob two teenagers in a city street with a knife has week escaped a jail sentence.
Dylan Stoddart, of Hill Street, had admitted charges of assaulting and attempting to rob the boys, each aged between 13 and 16 on September 3, 2021, in St Ninians.
The 29-year-old had demanded money from one of the boys, brandished a knife at him, and threatened him with violence, before seizing his clothing, pulling him, and holding a knife against his face and trying to headbutt him.
