AN ALLOA man has pleaded guilty to smashing a car with a baseball bat with a woman inside.

David Baird (25), of Doo’cot Brae, admitted the charge of acting in a threatening and abusive manner when he took the weapon to the car outside his home on 28 July 2014.

He appeared before Alloa Sheriff Court on Monday (17 November) where Sheriff Donald Ferguson deferred sentencing pending the result of criminal justice social work reports.

Baird will re-appear at court on 18 December.
