Oil worker fined for Aberdeen Airport police abuse
02.07.09
An oil worker was fined £400 yesterday for breach of the peace after shouting and swearing at police officers at Aberdeen Airport, the Press & Journal reports. Michael Roache, 41, appeared at the city’s sheriff court where he pleaded guilty the charge relating to an incident in the terminal building at Dyce in December 2008.
Fiscal depute Celia Dyckhoff told the court that Mr Roache, of 40 Moir Drive, Aberdeen, had initially been ‘jovial’ with the airport police officers on duty at the terminal. However, after withdrawing money he became abusive, and continued shouting and swearing even after he was taken outside to wait for his taxi.
Defence agent Neil McRobert said his client had arrived at the airport having returned from working offshore and had been drinking. The solicitor said his client accepted that his behaviour had been inappropriate.
