A man who spat at police officers and claimed he had HIV has been jailed at Dundee Sheriff Court.
Charles Gibson, 32, of Abercromby Street, Broughty Ferry, admitted stealing steak worth £70 at Co-op, Campfield Square, on April 28.
He also admitted assaulting PCs Connor McLaren and Matthew Rhind by attempting to spit on them at Police HQ in Bell Street on the same date.
He further admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause fear or alarm by shouting and swearing and informing both officers that he had HIV and wanted them and their children to contract it.
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael sentenced Gibson to 11 months in prison.
