A young Spice user who bit two security guards and struck two prison warders has been spared jail after a sheriff was told he had been learning French behind bars.
Adam Perratt, now 20, attacked prison officer David Orr at Polmont Young Offenders' Institution near Falkirk while he was being removed from his cell after being found under the influence an illicit substance, Stirling Sheriff Court was told.
He "lunged" at the officer as he tried to remove him to a safer cell, striking him on the left cheek and trying to bite him.
