A SCOTS author who lashed out a police at a crime scene was ordered to be of good behaviour for one year on Wednesday.
Paul Smith, 40, resisted arrest on Glasgow city centre's Hope Street on December 23 2023.
Smith had earlier pestered officers who were protecting an area of ground splattered with blood.
The gang member turned chef has recently appeared on podcasts having written a novel called Gangs to Gourmet.
Smith, of Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, has also been described as a "settled family man" who has turned his back on his previous life.
Smith was convicted at Glasgow Sheriff Court to resisting arrest and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
The court heard from constable Stephanie Urquhart who was tasked to keep guard of the crime scene unrelated to Smith.
She stated that Smith tried to get to the cordoned area but she warned him off.
An "incoherent" Smith then "mumbled something" towards her.
The officer claimed Smith then went out onto the road and got in the way of taxis and buses which lasted around five to 10 minutes.
Smith was then escorted from the road.
PC Urquhart stated that Smith was carrying a black bag which resembled a clarinet case which she found "strange."
The officer added that Smith was swaying back and forth from side to side.
PC Urquhart told jurors that she then witness Smith "struggling" with officers as they tried to put handcuffs on him.
She said: "The man was on the floor trying to use his legs and the officers were on top of him...the man was putting up a fight."
Smith tensed his body and lashed out with his arms and legs while resisting the arrest.
Fast straps were also applied to Smith as well as the handcuffs.
PC Urquhart stated that Smith "shouted and swore."
He is claimed to have said: "F***ing b******s I will stick the c*** in yous, who do you think you are, take these f***ing cuffs off and you will see."
Smith's bag was then searched by PC Urquhart.
Prosecutor Jacky Wall asked the witness what she found and replied: "I discovered a number of knives and other kitchen items within.
"I was in shock, nine large kitchen knives."
Jurors were shown images of the utensils which were seized which included a knife with a 10-inch blade.
The officer was told by Smith when asked to explain the discovery that he was a chef at Oran Mor in Glasgow's west end.
Smith was then taken into custody where he spent Christmas Day before appearing in court.
Eight charges of possession of a knife in a public place and a single charge of possession of a blade in a public place all of which without a reasonable excuse were found not guilty by the jury.
Lorna Clark, defending, told the court that her client is currently doing a 240-hour community payback order for behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and resisting arrest.
Sheriff Iain Fleming asked for the matter to recall in one year for Smith to be of good behaviour at Wednesday's sentencing.
