A racist offender who is now back living with his mother again could be spending his nights there with an electronic tag under house arrest if the premises is deemed suitable.

Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Alexander Brown, 43, had pleaded guilty to behaving in a racially aggravated manner – uttering racially offensive comments – at Carngrew Cottage, Haggs on March 20 and September 26, 2021.

He also admitted threatening behaviour – making threats of violence and threats to kill – at the same location on August 9 and August 12, 2022.

The court heard Brown had moved back in with his mother.

Sheriff Alison Michie deferred sentence on Brown, 18 Church Lane, Dunipace, until July 27 to find out if his mother’s address was suitable for a restriction of liberty order, should that be handed out to Brown as a punishment for his crimes when he next appears.
