Out-of-control Steven Rae assaulted PC Ryan Beveridge in July 2023 by seizing him by the neck with his legs and compressing his throat and neck. On the same day, the 37-year-old thug shouted homophobic slurs towards police officers.
A Barrhead dad who held a police officer in a chokehold with his legs and repeatedly punched him, causing permanent scarring, has been jailed.
Procurator fiscal depute Jason Stark told Paisley Sheriff Court: “Around 7.15pm, on July 21, 2023, police were contacted anonymously in relation to reports of a disturbance on Cross Arthurlie Street in Barrhead. “PC Wilson activated his urgent assistance emergency button on his radio and PC Beveridge then took out his PAVA spray and managed to spray the accused with the irritant. As a result, the accused began releasing the pressure on the police officer’s head and neck.
“PC Beveridge was treated at the Royal Alexandra Hospital after he suffered a 2cm laceration to the middle of his upper lip which required three stitches.
