AN IRATE father lost his rag with a social worker and threatened to 'drag her out by the hair and give her a kick-in'.

David Miller, 33, verbally abused his victim during an angry phone call, in which he branded the woman a "twisted, specky, evil f*****g c*w".

The accused initially called Glasgow City Council's Social Work office in Church Street to discuss his children, but the conversation quickly turned sour.

Miller menaced: "I'm gonna come down there and wait for you.

"I'm going to the office. I'm going to get through the security door and get you, and drag you by the hair into the car park and give you a kick-in."

Before the call ended, Miller added: "I know what car you drive. I'm going to get you.

"You're not gonna like it when I lose it. I'm gonna get you."

The distressed victim then called the police.

The incident happened on May 2, 2017.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court this week, Miller pleaded guilty to making the menacing phone call and repeatedly uttering threats of violence towards the social worker.

Sheriff Paul Crozier asked the accused's lawyer: "Why would he think it's okay to behave like that?"

The defence agent replied: "He now regrets that behaviour."

The lawyer claimed Miller's "threats were empty" and explained that the accused lost his temper over a fraught situation involving contact with his children.

Miller, who has "ricochet" in and out of prison throughout his life, was said to have accepted he has an issue with alcohol.

His lawyer stated that the accused's life was "more stable and structured" than what it was before, and if he were to be jailed it would affect his accommodation and path to employment.

The lawyer added: "He appreciates how much difficulty he is in."

Sheriff Crozier branded the accused's behaviour "appalling" and jailed Miller, of Acre Drive, for five months.
