“At approximately 7pm the accused returned to the locus. Witnesses believed he was under the influence of alcohol.
“The accused went to his room and the witness heard him shouting out the window at another resident, making threats to harm him and shouting ‘grass’.
“The witness spoke to the accused and went in to calm him down. Initially he did.”

The fiscal depute continued: “Police were contacted.
