The court heard Douglas, 12 Cairneymount Avenue, Maddiston, still had a number of hours to complete – 119 – on his community payback order.

Sheriff Christopher Shead said: “You still have a lot of hours outstanding. If you’re going to avoid custody then you need to make better progress with these hours.”

Sentence was deferred on Douglas until April 7.
