AFTER repeated warnings to go home, a drunken man made an obscene gesture towards police officers and found himself being charged.
At Oban Sheriff Court last week Kevin Hobbs, 28, of 11 Croft Avenue, Oban admitted uttering threats and gesticulating in an aggressive and obscene manner and to spitting on a constable in the execution of his duty on December 20 last year in Station Road in the town.
Procurator fiscal Eoin McGinty said that Hobbs was spotted on the town’s CCTV system and was seen to be staggering. Officers went to check on his well-being. They told him to go home but amongst offensive remarks and a feigned head butt he told them ‘youse are getting brave’. He was repeatedly told to go home and appeared to be doing so.
