EXTRA police were called to an incident where a Tullibody man was threatening to stab officers.

Michael Barr, 29, of The Orchard, appeared in the dock at Alloa Sheriff Court last Thursday, February 24.

He admitted that on November 21, at The Orchard, he shouted, swore and made threats to stab police officers.

Depute fiscal Rachel Wallace said police were called to an incident and saw Barr at a third-floor window.

He became verbally abusive and shouted: "You're getting done in when you come through the door. You're getting stabbed."

As a result of the threats, a firearms officer and a negotiator attended the incident which lasted around 90 minutes before Barr was detained.

Sheriff Neil Bowie deferred sentence until March 30 for reports.
