Accused of threat to shoot woman

A MAN who allegedly made threats to shoot a woman and kill two other people has been ordered to stand trial.

Gary Soutar, 31, allegedly called a woman and made threats of violence on November 8, breaching bail conditions by contacting her.

On November 10, Soutar allegedly threatened to shoot the same woman in a text message to a man.

Prosecutors also allege Soutar, of Brownhill Street, breached his bail on October 27 by contacting the woman, and also spoke to two other people on the same date, threatening to kill them.

Soutar continued to make no plea when he made a second appearance on petition from custody at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Sheriff George Way fully committed Soutar for trial and remanded him in custody.

REPORTS have been ordered on a man who admitted attacking a police officer and making violent threats.

Stuart Clark committed the offences during a journey to police headquarters from Rosefield Street on June 14.

He admitted shouting, swearing, making threats, kicking the doors of a police van and striking his head against the interior of the vehicle.

Clark, of Wedderburn Street, also admitted kicking PC Murray Scott on the body during the same journey.

Following the 41-yearold’s guilty pleas at Dundee Sheriff Court, sentence was deferred until January by Sheriff George Way for reports to be prepared.

A 27-YEAR-OLD man accused of spying on a woman as she showered will stand trial next month.

Prosecutors allege Ovenstone, of Wellgrove Street, opened a bathroom window and watched the woman in the shower.

Following an intermediate diet hearing, Sheriff George Way continued the case to trial next month.
