A PETTY argument with his girlfriend led to a Ross-shire man scuffling with her father.
Inverness Sheriff Court was told, when police arrived, Adam Cox (21) spat at one officer although he did not make contact.
The incident happened on May 20 last year at a house in Castlehill Drive, Inverness after Cox and his partner had been socialising in a local pub.
Fiscal depute Robert Weir said Cox was very intoxicated. He said that there was a disagreement between Cox and the woman and her father went to see if everything was OK.
Cox of Rosehaugh Drive, Avoch, swore at him, shouted abuse and then challenged him to fight. After police arrived, and as a constable was trying to handcuff Cox, he spat in his direction.
Cox, who had no previous convictions, admitted threatening or abusive behaviour and assault.
Sentence was deferred until June 27.
