Chilling threats to kill mum

A violent yob who threatened to murder his mum and struggled with cops will carry out unpaid work.

Michael Conroy, 22, breached bail conditions by entering a property on Morar Crescent, Coatbridge, and trying to speak with his mother.

When police were called and confronted Conroy, he resisted arrest and struggled violently with two officers by lashing out with his leg.

Conroy’s repulsive behaviour on June 19 concluded when he shouted, swore, acted in an aggressive manner and issued chilling matricidal threats he would murder his mum while enroute to Coatbridge police office.

Conroy, whose address was given as Seagrove Street in the Carntyne area of Glasgow, admitted his guilt and resurfaced at Airdrie Sheriff Court last week to learn his fate.

Sheriff Petra Collins sentenced Conroy to a community payback order with 80 hours’ unpaid work, reduced from 90 due to his plea, as a direct alternative to a financial penalty.

Wife attacked

A violent Kirkwood thug who repeatedly banged his wife’s head off a wall will face no further court reviews.

Daniel Watson also seized his terrified victim by the hair, neck and body during the horrific attack at a property on Stewart Court, Coatbridge, on March 28 last year.

The 48-year-old brute admitted his guilt and was sentenced to a community payback order at Airdrie Sheriff Court.

Watson, of Wellington Place, was back in the dock for a review of his order - and a review of his punishment for drink-driving while four-times over the limit.

Just under a year before he assaulted his partner, Watson was confronted by police on Portree Avenue in the Old Monkland area of Coatbridge.

He was found to have driven with 143 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, with the then limit being 35 microgrammes.

Watson also failed to identify himself as the driver of the car when questioned by police on April 30, 2014.

He entered a guilty plea and received a community payback order as punishment.

During his appearance in court last week for a review of both orders, Watson was hailed by his defence solicitor Tony Linden, who told the court: “There are two orders and this is a glowing report.”

Sheriff Petra Collins agreed with Mr Linden’s assessment and told Watson: “The report is very good so I will not fix any further reviews and allow the orders to continue until their completion.”

Brutal assault

Sentence has been further deferred on a callous Whinhall brute who stamped on his partner’s body.

Guiseppi McAuley’s terrifying attack took place at a house on West Kirk Street, Airdrie, on June 9.

The foul-mouthed 58-year-old also repeatedly shouted, swore, uttered offensive remarks, refused to leave the property when asked to do so and behaved in an aggressive manner, all placing his stunned victim in a state of fear.

McAuley, from Whinhall Avenue, pleaded guilty at Airdrie Sheriff Court and was due to be sentenced last Wednesday following a deferral for background reports.

However, defence solicitor Mark Lutton told the court: “The reports are not available. My client said he didn’t receive the letter from the social work department.

“There has been a change of address, but he has taken proactive steps to inform the court.”

Sheriff Petra Collins later addressed McAuley directly, saying: “I will adjourn until August 10 to obtain the reports previously called for.”

Heated rampage

A crazed Whifflet man who terrified his wife during a heated rampage has been admonished in court.

Bijan Mohseni, 35, threw household items around his Robert Gilson Gardens home and repeatedly shouted and swore on February 22.

He also acted in an aggressive manner to place his shaken better half in a state of fear and alarm.

Mohseni pled guilty at Airdrie Sheriff Court and was back to face the music last Wednesday after a deferral for social work background reports.

Defence solicitor Mark Fallon told the court his client had “reconciled with his wife” and that Mohseni’s actions were “out of character”.

Passing sentence on Mohseni, Sheriff Petra Collins said: “Given that you have been of good behaviour, you shall be admonished on this charge.”

Thief struck twice

A sheriff has admonished a shameless shoplifter who twice stole clothes from a Coatbridge store in less than a month.

Mary Thomson, 51, made off with her loot on January 12 and February 5 last year.

She also made another unsuccessful attempt to steal further clothes on the second date by placing them into the handbag of another woman.

Thomson, of Quarry knowe Street in Glasgow, pleaded guilty to both charges and sentence was deferred to prove she could keep herself out of trouble.

The brazen thief was back at Airdrie Sheriff Court last Wednesday and was admonished by Sheriff Petra Collins.
