Teen banned for stealing a woman’s drum at a Rangers game
A 21-month football match ban has been imposed on a teenager who stole a drum from a St Johnstone employee before to a Rangers game. On August 17 of last year, the 17-year-old teenager, who is not allowed to be named for legal reasons, attacked Beverly Mayer, the liaison officer for Saints supporters, outside of Hampden.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, he had earlier entered a guilty plea to robbery and assault. The child was warned that he would go to jail after failing to complete his social work background report, which was due last month. Sheriff Mark McGuire banned the boy from football and made him perform 108 hours of unpaid labour. Additionally, the adolescent from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, was placed under surveillance for a year.
After the incident, Rangers, who were playing at the national stadium while Ibrox was undergoing renovations, suspended four fans indefinitely. According to court documents, the child raced towards Miss Mayer and grabbed a drum she was carrying while posing as someone else with a face covering. According to the allegation, she fell and hit her head on the ground when the youngster pulled her by the drum.
The teenager then stole the drum from Miss Mayer, according to the documents. Additionally, he admitted to engaging in aggressive or threatening behaviour. According to the allegation, the adolescent was a member of an unruly group and frequently yelled, cursed, and called for fights. According to documents, he also made derogatory comments and threatened to use violence.
The kid was charged with resisting, obstructing, or hindering two police officers in the course of their duties, and the Crown accepted a not guilty plea. He reportedly battled with constables Jonathan Fairlie and Colin McCartney and fled from them. Due to the same incident, 22-year-old Rangers supporter Arran Watt was barred from football games for two years in November of last year..
