James Markie, of Queens Drive in Hawick, pleaded guilty to committing the offence on Monday, June 3.

The court was told he is already under supervision with a condition not to consume alcohol after being involved in a dispute with neighbours at his former home in Denholm’s Murray Place.

Sheriff Kevin Duffy said it was a serious matter and added that it was only with some hesitation that he was releasing Markie on bail so that a criminal justice social work report and restriction-of-liberty order assessment can be prepared.

The case will recall at Jedburgh Sheriff Court next month.
