Strathpeffer man gets prison term after wrench throw incident

CCTV filmed a 26-year-old man throwing a tyre wrench towards a car which was parked in a driveway in Strathpeffer.

The vehicle was not struck and no damage was caused but police were alerted and Kieran Sehar was subsequently arrested.

He appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court and admitted behaving in a threatening manner in Caberfeidh Place, Strathpeffer on March 9, 2024.

His lawyer, Natalie Paterson told Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald: "He has little recollection of this. There was a disagreement between the people at the house and another party."

The solicitor said that her client was currently serving a prison sentence with his earliest release date being December 19 this year.

She added: "He has successfully completed a drug treatment and testing order and is substance free. On his release, he has still to complete a community payback order with 270 hours of unpaid work."

Sheriff Macdonald fined Sehar of Ardival Court, Strathpeffer £290 but gave him no time to pay so the 14 day prison alternative would apply, thus not affecting his date of liberty.
