A DRUNK man refused to leave a bar in Glasgow city centre and had to be restrained on the ground by bouncers.
Kyle Thomson, 32, of Irvine, was sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court recently after pleading guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
The court heard that just after 9.30pm on August 30, 2025, police were tasked to go to Bunker Bar due to a man refusing to leave and having to be restrained by door stewards.
Officers attended and took control of Thomson, bringing him to his feet whilst they got the circumstances of the call.
Thomson was seen to be under the influence of alcohol and refused to cooperate with door stewards.
He became violent, resisted them, and had to be put on the ground.
Cops went to speak with Thomson, who was hostile and making wild movements whilst shouting and swearing.
He was put in handcuffs and taken to a police car. Thomson stated, “F*****g p****s. Get to f**k. You’re a bunch of f*****g c***s.”
Whilst waiting on transport, he continued making verbal threats, stating, “Go back to your own f*****g country you c**t.”
Whilst in the van, this continued and he said, “I will f*****g remember the both of you c***s. You f*****g dirty b******s, you’re corrupt.
“You’re the biggest gang in Scotland. My family comes from money. You’re f*****g done. You know how many judges owe me favours?
“You’re going to lose your job. Shut up, keep charging me, I don’t care. Go back to your own country and jail people in your own country.
“It’s not racist to say that, I said it before.”
Thomson was taken to the custody suite at Cathcart Police Station.
His lawyer told the court that his client was “disappointed with his own behaviour”.
The defence solicitor said: “He understands his behaviour was totally unacceptable. He’s disappointed with his own behaviour.
“He’s 32-years-old and suffers from mental health. The difficulty is that alcohol misuse increases it.
“There has been a consistent pattern of offending over the past couple of years, at least since March 2023.
“During Covid he lost his job. He had started up his own business. He has two grandparents in Irvine, and he was caring for them at the time.
“The work-life balance ultimately slipped, and so did his mental health. I ask you to impose a period of unpaid work.”
Sheriff Anna Reid commented that the narration was “really unpleasant” to hear.
Thomson was placed on a community payback order with 100 hours of unpaid work as a direct alternative to custody.
