An abusive drunk shouted, “I pay your wages” at police before flinging a bottle of vodka at officers from an Aberdeen flat window.
Kyle McMillan also called them “f****** rats” as he hurled abuse in the city’s Huntly Street on August 5 earlier this year.
Officers had been called to the scene around 11pm in connection with an “ongoing investigation”, Aberdeen Sheriff Court was told.
McMillan answered the door in an “aggressive and agitated state” alongside another man.
And during the hostile incident, McMillan shouted at police officers and made threats to fight them.
Fiscal depute Ruaridh McAllister told the court: “The accused McMillan was in possession of a glass vodka bottle and was shouting and making threats to fight the police officers
“The two men were instructed to desist in their behaviour to which the door was slammed shut but the officers could still hear shouting within.
“The accused then opened a window and continued to utter threats and threaten to fight the police officers.
“He was still in possession of the glass vodka bottle and was brandishing it towards the officers.
“More police officers then arrived and heard the accused shouting various things such as, ‘I pay your wages’, and, ‘f****** rats’.”
McMillan jumped out window
The other man then jumped out the window and was detained by police, at which point McMillan threw the glass vodka bottle out the window.
“It landed at their feet and shattered”, the fiscal added.
“He thereafter jumped out of the window and ran towards the officers where he was restrained by them.”
McMillan has been remanded in custody at HMP Grampian since the incident.
Was misusing alcohol at time
The prisoner appeared in the dock and admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards the police officers.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard that the 24-year-old had lost his younger sister the year before and his granddad a week before the incident.
McMillan’s defence solicitor Leonard Burkinshaw said: “He was having difficulty coming to terms with that.
“He turned to alcohol to help with the intense emotions he was feeling at that time.”
Sheriff Morag McLaughlin jailed McMillan, of Edinburgh, but currently imprisoned at HMP Grampian, for nine months.
The sentence was backdated to August this year when he was first remanded at the Peterhead prison.
