Man threatened to put faeces in his mouth and spit it at nurses

Brown threatened a dirty protest at the Police Scotland divisional headquarters in Dundee.
Brown threatened a dirty protest at the Police Scotland divisional headquarters in Dundee.

A man who threatened to put faeces in his mouth and spit it at nurses while locked in a police cell has been jailed for 11 months.

James Brown, 30, stated he wanted to have a dirty protest and threatened to defecate on the floor, smear it on the walls and throw pieces at anyone who entered his cell.

Brown, who was high on heroin and legal highs at the time, then urinated on his cell door before placing his fingers up his rectum and rubbing them over the cell glass.

He then proceeded to spit on the cell door and make racist remarks to officers.

Brown had been picked up by the police after they found him in an intoxicated state on Pomarium Street in Perth.

He was arrested after he refused to leave the area and began shouting and swearing at officers.

He later unleashed a torrent of racist abuse at a police constable, including such threats as ‘go home and rape your black daughters’ and ‘I hope your black mother dies of cancer’.

Solicitor Keith Sym said his client had no recollection of any events.

He stated: “He doesn’t even recall when he was released from police custody. Some of the comments made would suggest a mind that was under severe intoxication.”

Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: “Anyone with any degree of sanity would appreciate as you do today when you are of sound mind that your behaviour was just atrocious.”

Brown, Paterson Place, Montrose, admitted that on March 11 at Perth Royal Infirmary, Taymount Terrace, Perth, and Police Scotland divisional headquarters, West Bell Street, Dundee, that he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner, shouted, swore, did spit within a police vehicle, urinated against a door of a police cell and smeared excrement on the door.

He also admitted to shouting, swearing and uttering racist remarks to a police officer regarding both him and his family, biting his hand and spitting at him.
