A CLACKMANNAN man told his neighbour that his dead nana would have kicked her "f**king teeth right in".

Last Wednesday at Alloa Sheriff Court, John Donald admitted behaving in a threatening manner in his home street on May 10, 2016.

Fiscal depute Adrian Fraser explained that there had been a falling out between the accused and complainer in the run up to the incident.

On the day in question, the complainer was in her garden with her daughter when 27-year-old Donald passed them while drunk.

During a heated exchange the accused stated that if his nana were alive she would have kicked the complainer's "f**king teeth right in". The woman replied that Donald's gran fortunately couldn't because she was "six feet under".

The accused walked away, but then returned to Craigrie Terrace threatening that he was going to get someone to kick her in.

The complainer was said to have felt intimidated and scared.

Despite pleading guilty, from the dock Donald claimed: "That's not even true."

Defending, Stephen Maguire stated that alcohol was taken and his client "didn't appreciate" the comments made about his gran.

Sheriff David Mackie deferred sentence until June 22 for Donald's good behaviour. If the accused stays out of trouble he will be admonished.
