A MAN has been ordered to pay £250 in compensation to the police officer he tried to headbutt.

Brian Hutton, 34, of Murroch Crescent, Alexandria, appeared at Dumbarton Sheriff Court after a period of good behaviour.

Sheriff Maxwell Hendry said he didn’t think Hutton would argue “for one nanosecond” that headbutting a police office wasn’t wrong.

But he said it was “unusual” and it was “likely you will not commit crime in the future”.
