Youth swore at Raigmore Hospital medic
A youth who shouted and swore at staff and members of the public and a doctor at Raigmore Hospital has been placed on supervision and ordered to carry out unpaid work for the community.
Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood described Aran MacIver as a ‘thoroughly obnoxious nuisance’ after hearing of his behaviour at the hospital.
Depute fiscal Roderick Urquhart said the 20 year-old had been taken to the hospital on February 23 heavily intoxicated with a mixture of substances.
Once at the Inverness hospital he became very loud and was told repeatedly to lower his voice.
But the fiscal said he started shouting and swearing and swore at a doctor.
He admitted behaving in an abusive and threatening manner at the hospital on February 23 while on bail and conducting himself in a disorderly manner on May 19 at St Francis Gardens by shouting and swearing.
MacIver, of St Francis gardens, Inverness admitted both offences.
The sheriff was told on May 19 police received anonymous calls about a youth making a nuisance of himself in a public grassed area and MacIver was arrested.
The Sheriff said the before MacIver appeared in court and had been ordered to be of good behaviour.
Solicitor Neil Wilson representing MacIver said he could not disagree with the sheriff’s comments about his client.
But he said apart from these cases and one previous conviction he had no previous record.
Sheriff Fleetwood placed him on supervision for a year and ordered him to undergo supervision including alcohol treatment, for one year.
