Joseph Boyle, 59, failed to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having previously admitted assaulting a police officer – threatening to spit on him and then repeatedly doing so – at an address in Main Street, Redding, on April 7, 2020.
Defence solicitor Stephen Biggam said a criminal justice social work report was available, but he had no explanation why Boyle had not turned up for court.
Sheriff Marayam Labaki said she would give Boyle, 73 Main Street, Redding, a chance and deferred sentence until March 31.
