Hide AdSpeaking at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, McCroary’s defence solicitor, William McIntyre, said: “He’s been of good behaviour since and reconciled with his partner.”
Sheriff Derek Livingston said: “There’s a suggestion he’s been less than truthful about his intake of substances.
“It’s quite a reasonable report despite the fact he has been less than honest about his use of drugs and alcohol.”
McCroary, who was previously remanded in custody for breaching bail, will be supervised for two years, during which time he must attend drink and drug counselling as an alternative to custody.
