The Angus man who spent his wedding night in the cells after an off-licence bust up was back in the dock at Forfar Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
Graeme Leslie, of Scotson Place in St Cyrus, admitted a fresh breach of the peace charge when he appeared before Sheriff Linda Smith.
Leslie, 61, hit the headlines earlier this year when he was arrested hours after his marriage when he took offence to a throwaway comment in a local off-licence as he was trying to buy wedding night celebration cider.
A customer in Montrose High Street’s Party Time shop warned him the cider he was stocking up on would “give you some hangover” and Mr Leslie launched into a foul-mouthed tirade which saw him flung out of the shop.
After police were called, the pair spent their wedding night in separate cells.
On Tuesday Leslie admitted behaving in a threatening manner likely to cause fear or alarm by uttering threats of violence and acting in an aggressive manner on March 25 in Carnegie Street, Montrose.
He also admitted struggling violently with police officers.
The case was deferred until next Thursday when Leslie will appear on another matter — shouting and acting aggressively towards his partner Margaret before he assaulted her by seizing her by the neck to her injury on August 1.
The court previously heard that the couple had been drinking together during the day of August 1 and Mr Leslie went to buy more alcohol.
When he returned at around 3.20pm, an argument started and he grabbed her by the throat with both hands. She then went to the bathroom in order to call the police.
Criminal justice social work reports have been ordered for next week’s court hearing which will now consider the two outstanding cases.
