A man hid from police in his mother's cupboard.

Police were called to a Govan disturbance on January 29, 2024.

When officers arrived, around 9pm, they did not find the incident. A short time later, a woman opened the door.

Cops asked her if anyone else was present and she pointed at the cupboard, indicating that her son was in there.

Police opened the door and found Ronald Andrews inside.

They took him to the living room and tried to engage with him. He became aggressive and grabbed hold of an officer.

The 34-year-old grabbed the cop's body armour and pulled him to the floor.

A struggle ensued as the other officer tried to assist his colleague.

They both struggled to control Andrews, who broke free, kicked both cops and tried to bite one of them.

He was warned that pepper spray would be used. After this, he stopped this conduct and allowed handcuffs to be applied.

He was taken to the police van. But he became aggressive again, kicking one officer and trying to headbutt the other. He was taken to London Road police station, cautioned and charged.

Andrews, who is currently in temporary accommodation, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court after he pleaded guilty.

His lawyer said: "He was living with his mother at the time. He found accommodation at the Copland Road Hotel.

"He was sleeping rough for a while. He is hoping that now that he has an address, this issue will be resolved. He is open to any help he can get."

Sheriff Mark McGuire said: "I am satisfied that there is an alternative to custody here. Had there not been any other disposals, I would have probably sent you to prison for assaulting the police officers.

"But if you breach these orders, you will end up in Barlinnie."

Andrews was sentenced to 12 months of supervision and 246 hours of unpaid work.
