Sheriff Derek Livingston noted Heenan’s “not great” reported which highlighted his poor attendance at CADs, his not being suitable for a restriction of liberty order, had not paid his compensation order and the fact he was not “very good” at paying fines.

“You may have some work to do to keep him out of custody,” Sheriff Livingston told Heenan’s solicitor William McIntyre.

Sentence was deferred until February 3.
