A FORMER police officer has been fined £600 for behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards a local primary school head teacher.
Thomas Kirsop, 77, of North Ballachulish, was found guilty last month after a trial at Fort William Sheriff Court heard how he had stood in a road near his home, just along from the local school, and had adopted an intimidating and confrontational stance, staring directly at the woman when she arrived at the school on August 16 this year.
Sheriff Eilidh MacDonald had deferred sentence on Kirsop until last Thursday for preparation of a criminal justice social work report.
