A MAN who drunkenly attacked two people on separate occasions is awaiting sentencing

Campbell Lebeau committed the assaults in Stevenston and Irvine in December last year and February this year.

He was also charged with failing to provide a specimen of breath on April 2

Kilmarnock Sheriff Court heard that on February 3, Lebeau was out at the Oceans 11 nightclub in Kilmarnock before returning to the home of a female friend.

He was noted as being drunk and aggressive, repeatedly trying to argue with the woman as well as shouting and swearing.

She called for a male friend after fearing Lebeau was going to “get himself into trouble”.

After making their way to the woman’s address in Gilmour Gardens, Stevenston, he continued to act abusively towards the woman.

Lebeau then rose from his seat and slapped the woman across the face.Police were contacted and found all parties arguing.

Lebeau was taken to Saltcoats Police Office and when being cautioned and charged he replied: “What a f*****g joke by the way.”

Less than two months later police caught up with Lebeau about an allegation of driving under the influence in Gladstone Road, Saltcoats.

They found him sleeping on the couch at an address and was again, heavily drunk.

He refused to provide officers with a specimen of breath when they attended and was reported to the fiscal.

The court heard that earlier, on December 5, witnesses at an address in Irvine’s Carron Place heard a knock at the door and found Lebeau waiting.

The 35-year-old was known as a friend of a friend and asked if he could come in because it was raining.

They agreed but quickly realised he was heavily intoxicated and argumentative.

He repeatedly called the people in the house “toerags”. Lebeau was warned about his behaviour but quickly leapt forward and grabbed the male complainer by the throat.

The pair rolled around the living room before Lebeau pinned the man onto the couch.

Lebeau began repeatedly pulling his hand back in a punching motion before being pulledaway but continued to throw punches.

Lebeau pleaded guilty to the charges at court last week.

Sheriff McDonald said: “Three matters now before me Mr Lebeau all involving drinking.

“I need to know a bit more about you. If you offend whilst you’re out you’re telling me ‘just send me to jail’.”

Lebeau will return to court in June following reports.

He is also disqualified from driving in the interim.
