A LOCHGELLY man who was refused service for alcohol because he didn't have his ID called a shop worker "spastic".

Two workers at the Co-op witnessed Casey Japp walk into the shop under the influence of alcohol and pick up a bottle of vodka and juice.

When he went to pay he was asked for his ID. A female Japp was with produced her's but the accused didn't have any so began to shout and swear.

The word "spastic" was used towards one of the employees and he was told to leave.

But as he was leaving he shouted "spastic" again.

Japp also appeared before Dunfermline Sheriff Court for a separate offence where he smashed the windows of a friend's home.

Deputy fiscal, Azrah Yousaf, told the Court that the accused has split up with his partner and the woman began a relationship with a new partner.

Japp attended at the new partner's house at around 7.30am in the morning in August shouting.

He was seen throwing stones off the windows causing them to break.

When he was detained he told police that he "could not believe his friend had went off with his ex-partner" and that she had "broken" his heart.

Japp, 28, of Main Street, Lochgelly, previously admitted that on December 29, at The Co-operative Group, Bank Street, he did behave in a threatening or abusive manner which was likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm in that he did shout, swear and utter an offensive remark.

Also, on August 1 at Francis Street, he did behave in a threatening or abusive manner which was likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm in that he did shout and throw stones at windows causing them to break.

Defence solicitor, James Moncrieff, explained on Wednesday, that Japp was "embarrassed" about his behaviour in the Co-op.

He also told the Court that Japp has been in a relationship for some time and the woman had previously went off with his friend, but they reconciled.

"They split up and the same situation arose, and he felt his friend had betrayed him," Mr Moncrieff said.

"They have since reconciled and he has made amends with his friend.

"Mr Japp is no stranger to the Courts but since 2017 there have only been these two matters that have accumulated."

Sheriff Charles Macnair told Japp: "You have a very bad record and at the time of the offence in December you were still serving the second half of a custodial sentence.

"That offence I take very seriously because it was a shopkeeper that had to take this abuse, they could not just walk away.

"Then there is an offence against your partner or their new partner.

"You are very, very close to a significant custodial sentence and if you breach this order you can expect to go to custody."

Japp was placed on a community payback order with two years supervision and 225 hours unpaid work and also a restriction of liberty order for 135 days.
