A farm worker was fined £1000 for hurling sectarian abuse at cops after telling them he’d just been attacked on a night-out.
Thomas Fairbairn told the officers he wanted to report being assaulted in Edinburgh’s city centre. But when the 24-year-old was informed they were dealing with another incident, he aimed vile abuse at them.Fairbairn was arrested after calling them “f****n b*****ds” and “gay c***s”.
He appeared at the city’s sheriff court and admitted a charge of threatening or abusive behaviour. The charge was aggravated by prejudice relating to sexual orientation and religion.
Fiscal depute Abbie McKerlie said the cops had arrested another person for an unrelated matter and had them in their police vehicle.Ms McKerlie said Fairbairn approached the vehicle in the New Town’s Hanover Street at around 1.20am and asked to make a report.The prosecutor said Fairbairn was told the officers were unable to assist due to the individual they had in custody.The court heard Fairbairn made the sectarian and homophobic remarks.
