A ROSYTH man who brandished a knife as he went looking for a fight has appeared back in court.
In the dock at Dunfermline Sheriff Court was 23-year-old Troy Burk, of Forker Avenue, who has twice breached his unpaid work order.
In May last year he was told to do 135 hours of unpaid work and another 50 hours was added when the order was breached the first time.
The court was told Burk has now done just under 116 hours.
He previously admitted that on 15th October 2022 at Queensferry Road and Kings Road, Rosyth, he was unlawfully in possession of a knife.
He also shouted, swore and challenged someone to fight whilst brandishing the knife.
Defence solicitor Alexander Flett said at the original sentencing: “He doesn’t have any real recollection of what took place. The knife belonged to his late father.
"It’s a large knife with a rusty blade and he doesn’t know why he took it.
“This was entirely out of character and it took place against the background of his father’s death.”
Sheriff Krista Johnston gave Burk another two months to complete the unpaid work but warned him: “This is the last chance saloon for you.”
