Drunken offender caused chaos at Denny caravan park after drinking all day

Jason Cameron, 42, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour at Beech Tree Park Homes, Denny, on May 7 last year, breaching his bail conditions at the same location on July 9, 2022 and possession of a knife in McGowan Road, Falkirk on May 15 on May 15, 2023.

Amy Sneddon, procurator fiscal depute, said: “The location is a caravan site and the complainer and the accused were residing there. After she left for work the accused remained at the address and spent the day drinking alcohol.

"At 3pm the witness began hearing the complainer and the accused screaming and shouting and banging. The accused was heard to be aggressive and it sounded as if furniture was being thrown around.

"This went on for over an hour and witnesses contacted police. Officers attended and traced the complainer and the accused. There were clear signs of a disturbance – wooden panels had been ripped off and a plant pot had been thrown.”

Forbidden from entering the location by the court, Cameron subsequently breached that order by returning there a couple of months after the initial offence.

Cameron’s most recent offence occurred earlier this year.

The procurator fiscal depute said: "It was 6.20pm and police had been asked to attend the address in relation to an ongoing disturbance. Officers saw the accused, who appeared to try and conceal himself on the arrival of police.

"They were concerned because he was not wearing shoes or socks at the time. A knife was found in his right hand trouser pocket and he wasn’t able to offer officers any explanation why he had it.

"He told them ‘it’s not mine’.”

Defence solicitor Michael Lowrie, said Cameron had been in the grips of an ongoing alcohol problem for some time and had suffered trauma in the past.

Sheriff Maryam Labaki placed Cameon, 1 Stein Square, Stirling, on a supervised community payback order for two years with the condition he complete 200 hours of unpaid work within 18 months.
