"No one else was seen nearby at that point. Officers approached the accused and he became immediately aggressive, shouting ‘here they come’ and ‘I will kill you’.
"Despite being warned about his conduct he continued to act in this manner. He tensed his arms and struggled with officers for a short time.”
Eight days later and Adams was making a nuisance of himself once again.
