A 39-year-old man has admitted to wielding blades at emergency service workers.

Scott Struthers pled guilty to one charge at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.

Struthers behaved in a threatening and abusive manner at his home address in Stevenston’s Morris Moodie Avenue on October 10.

He shouted, swore, threatened paramedics and police and brandished bladed articles, including a knife.

Sentence was deferred for reports until November 5. Struthers was bailed until then.
