A FATHER-of-three has been ordered to do unpaid work after a drunken fit of rage left him in police custody.

Officers were called to the home of Paul McCaffrey in Shettleston after he began shouting and swearing at his father.

The procurator fiscal depute told Glasgow Sheriff Court that after arriving at the house in Kilmany Gardens around 2am on July 3, 2016 police officers were told by the accused’s father that he did not want his son in the house.

McCaffrey, 30, became aggressive towards officers and began shouting and swearing, and saying inappropriate remarks of a sexual nature to a male officer.

While being escorted from the bedroom and taken into a cell van, he also bit an officer on the  hand.

Other officers intervened to offer assistance before the accused then shouted abuse again.

He proceeded to call an officer an “Irish p****”.

The defence agent stated that the case was “ironic” because McCaffrey is Irish himself and described his behaviour as “off the scale”.

He explained that the accused, who has three children to three women, had been drinking “hard liquor” on the day of the incident.
