Heartbroken drunk in court overrampage
A DRUNK who broke up with his girlfriend went on a rampage and ended up locking himself in a 76-year-old woman’s bathroom.
Marcin Kudanawski, 27, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court with a Polish interpreter after pleading guilty.
Kudanawski, of Kestrel Road, Knightswood, admitted bursting into the pensioner’s home on Thornley Avenue, locking himself in the bathroom and placing her in a state of fear and alarm.
The charge also stated he opened the doors of passing cars at Alderman Road and Thornley Avenue placing the occupants in a state of fear and alarm before entering the woman’s home.
The offence occurred on November 4 last year.
The Procurator Fiscal depute told the court that Kudanawski first struck at around 4.45pm. A woman was sitting at traffic lights and he approached the car and tried to open the door.
The woman asked him to stop what he was doing. He then approached another car and attempted to open the door.
Kudanawski then went to the home of the woman who opened her door.
He ran past her and shouted ‘police’. He entered the woman’s kitchen where he took his trainers off. He then locked himself in the bathroom and police were called.
Kudanawski’s defence agent said: “It is a really bizarre situation. He broke up with his girlfriend and he had taken medication and alcohol.
“He can give no good reason for it. When he sobered up, he realised the embarrassment he caused himself.”
The court heard that Kudanawski came to the UK two years ago and now works as a delivery driver.
His defence agent added: “It is an isolated yet troubling matter. I do not think there are any underlying issues.”
Sentencing sheriff Gerard Bonnar said he would treat the incident as isolated and ordered Kudanawski to complete unpaid work in the community.
He was handed 150 hours of unpaid work to do in nine months.
