Mid Argyll police files - January 19 2024
Disturbance
Police were called to an ongoing disturbance at 12.50am on Sunday January 14 at the Inveraray Inn, Inveraray.
A male allegedly began to be abusive to police, threatening to fight them, leading to his arrest.
He subsequently, allegedly, refused to provide his personal details, as required under law.
The woman that the man was with reportedly also continued to swear and be abusive, despite repeated warnings from officers, leading to her arrest. The 26-year-old man and 27-year-old woman have since been charged with the offences and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Drunk and incapable
In Lochgilphead on January 13-14, police were called to a man who was reportedly drunk and incapable; drinking alcohol to the extent that he required assistance from police and NHS services, who were alerted by concerned members of the public.
Due to other preceding incidents where it was alleged the 50-year-old man was found in similar circumstances and warned about his behaviour, he has been charged and a report has been sent to the procurator fiscal.
Possession and drug driving
Police were called to a report of an accident at 12.15pm on Friday January 12, after a white van went off the road into a ditch on the A83 near to Kennacraig.
The driver was suspected of being under the influence of drugs, resulting in a drug wipe being requested from the driver, which he allegedly failed.
Subsequently, the 41-year-old male driver and vehicle were searched under Misuse of Drugs Act powers, allegedly leading to 4.1g of Cannabis being recovered.
The man was charged with possession and evidential blood samples have been obtained and sent for testing. A case has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.
