AN OBAN man who ran away from police officers thinking they were going to attack him was sentenced to three months in prison after a trial at Oban Sheriff Court last Wednesday (August 3).
Mark Pert, 32, c/o HMP Low Moss Prison, told Sheriff John Herald he thought he was about to be attacked by a ‘grey haired man’ and ran away because he was ‘frightened’.
Giving evidence, Police Constable Paul McMillian said he clearly identified himself as a police officer and had tried to arrest the man before he ran off.
