A Callander man who had been part of a mob protesting over a neighbour convicted of downloading indecent images of children was this week fined a total of £700.
A sheriff told Alexander Wilson, of Menteith Crescent, that the courts were the place to deal with offenders, not taking to the streets.
The 65-year-old accused had admitted charges of threatening and abusive behaviour as well as a charge of damaging property belonging to another by throwing a brick at a car.
