A MAN who assaulted a police officer has been fined £400.
Derek McBlain kicked the police constable on the body on March 3 at Union Street in Stevenston.
McBlain, 26, was also found in possession of cocaine on the same date, also in Union Street.
He also behaved in a threatening and abusive manner in that he shouted and swore.
McBlain pled guilty to three charges at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.
His plea of not guilty to a fourth charge was accepted by the procurator fiscal.
