AN IRVINE teen has been let off without conviction after behaving in a threatening way at the town's McDonald's restaurant.
Iain Adams was given an absolute discharge when he returned to Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier this week.
The 19-year-old was back in the dock having previously pleaded guilty to one charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at the Riverway Retail Park fast food chain on April 25 last year.
Court documents state he did so by shouting, swearing and acting in an aggressive manner.
It is added that the teen also repeatedly uttered derogatory remarks and threats of violence at the time.
He admitted the offence in October of last year though sentence for the matter was deferred to allow for Adams to be of good behaviour.
This week, the court was told that the Irvine man had adhered to this with his defence solicitor asking for an absolute discharge.
This means that no punishment is given and no conviction is recorded on their record however, it may be considered if the person is convicted of another crime in future.
Sentencing, Sheriff Colin Bissett agreed that the disposal was the most appropriate course of action.
He said: “I am going to decline to convict in respect of this matter. You will be given an absolute discharge.”
