A sheriff has “put a lot of trust” into a Barrhead man to carry out community service.
Thomas Mowles failed to cooperate with a preliminary breath test on September 25, 2024, on Barrhead’s Bank Street when a police officer suspected that he had been driving a Volkswagen Caddy while having “alcohol or a drug” in his system.
Mowles, of Craighead Way, caused “fear or alarm” on the same day when he shouted, swore, uttered offensive comments and behaved in an aggressive manner.
And at Govan police office, the 33-year-old failed to provide two specimens of breath for analysis, “without reasonable excuse.”

Sheriff Clare Arias stated: “I take into account your terrible record which has driving offences and I take into account you were subject to a community payback order at the time of the offence.
“I’m going to put a lot of trust in you, especially as I know you did breach your last order.
“I will give you an opportunity to take part in an order that is an alternative to custody.”
Mowles was ordered to carry out 135 hours of unpaid work in the community within 12 months.
In addition, he was banned from driving for 12 months.
