A man pretended he had a gun when funfair security staff refused to let him and his intoxicated friends into the amusement park.
The incident happened at Inverness’s Bught Park on June 11, 2021.
Stephen Dick (20), who is currently on remand at the young offender’s institution at Polmont, appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court and admitted threatening behaviour.
He also pleaded guilty to punching one of the security staff on the back of the head.
Defence solicitor Marc Dickson said: “He was in the company of friends of a similar age and all had been drinking.
“They were waiting to get in and there was some kind of altercation regarding concern, quite rightly, by the security staff over one of them trying to take in a bottle of alcohol.”
Sentence was deferred until May 12 for a background report.
