A Glasgow mawas found by cops asleep in bed next to a stolen phone.
The owner of the device used a tracker to locate it and called the police.The ringing was heard from inside a Carntyne property.
Cops entered the home and found the device ringing on the side of the bed with James Toal, 53, sleeping next to it.He was taken to a police van outside as he screamed:"Just wait until I am out of here", "You are a f**king ugly tramp" and "Stupid cow". Toal was taken to Cathcart police station. There, he said to one officer:"What are you doing in this country?".Toal, of Mount Florida, was searched and a gold and black Michael Kors watch was found on him.Toal appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week after he pleaded guilty to two charges of assault, reset of the phone and watch, struggling violently and behaving aggressively.
His lawyer said:"He had two letters of support. He was previously in the drug court but is now back here." The 53-year-old was sentenced to 12 months of supervision with a condition to seek out addiction and mental health services.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
