A 21-YEAR-OLD Inverness man will be sentenced next month for threatening behaviour towards police, police assault and resisting arrest.

Sentence was deferred until December 10 for reports on Brandon Kavanagh of Smithton Park, who admitted four charges involving two separate incidents.

On October 30, 2019 in Telford Street he attempted to headbutt an officer in a dispute over the ownership of a television set. He admitted threatening behaviour towards the police and police assault.

He also pleaded guilty to failing to reveal to police the identity of the driver of a car he was sitting in near Smithton on September 28 this year and resisting arrest.

Defence solicitor Duncan Henderson said that his client should have given the police the information they legally required and shouldn’t have reacted in the way he did.
