Christopher Fitzpatrick (47) appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman – pushing her on the body – and destroying property, punching, headbutting and forcing open two doors – at Tesco, Redding on January 1 last year.

Sheriff Christopher Shead said the circumstances surrounding the offences – which followed on from Fitzpatrick being suspected of shoplifting – were “unusual”.

He deferred sentence on Fitzpatrick, 70 Alyth Drive, Polmont, to October 27 to allow a psychology report to be prepared.
