A 33-year-old man is due to stand trial at Selkirk Sheriff Court next month accused of committing eight offences in Innerleithen last month.

Colin McLean, who was described as being of no fixed abode, is charged with throwing glass bottles at windows in the High Street on July 1.

It is alleged he damaged windows and created potential danger to the public as there were pedestrians in the area.

He denies wilfully or recklessly damaging the windows of the Allotment Shop and Tweeddale Thrift Shop.

He has also pled not guilty to walking into the path of an ambulance and then entering the rear of the vehicle without permission and refusing to leave while rummaging through an equipment bag.

McLean further denies being in possession of an offensive weapon, namely a glass bottle, brandishing a broken bottle at a man and lunging at him.

He is also accused of struggling violently with two police constables.

The trial is scheduled for September 13.
