Denny offender Goodman was a bad man when police came calling
An offender lost the plot at police officers who entered his home to investigate an ongoing disturbance.
Kieran Goodman, 26, would not let officers in at the front door of the property at the time and officers found an open door at the rear of the premises, entering the property due to concern over an ongoing disturbance and then being met by an angry and aggressive Goodman.
He appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour and assaulting a police officer in Milton Place, Denny on November 9, 2024.
The procurator fiscal depute said: “Police attended at the address and around this time a male and female could be heard shouting from within. The accused refused police entry at the front door.
"Officers went to the rear of the property where the door was open and, due to the ongoing disturbance, they entered the address. The accused shouted at police, questioning why they were in the property.
"They told him it was due to an ongoing disturbance and the accused started to shout and swear saying ‘get away from my house’. He struggled and was aggressive and was placed in a police van.
"He then said ‘don’t you understand English?’ and swore at officers, saying ‘let me out of these cuffs’ and ‘I’m not going in that cell – good luck getting me in there.”
Goodman, who was representing himself, did not want to say anything in mitigation.
Sheriff Christopher Shead placed Goodman, 9 Lenzie Way, Glasgow, on a supervised community payback order for 12 months with the condition he completes 160 hours of unpaid work in that time.
