A grandson of the late crime clan matriarch Big Mags Haney has been jailed after battling a man in a busy Tesco’s car park.
Kevin Boon, 29, began swinging a baseball bat at a man armed with a knife before both fled when a store guard called police.
Michael Maguire, prosecuting, said the supermarket and car park, in Auld Brig Road, Alloa, was busy with shoppers at about 5pm on November 11 last year.
A worker at the store heard a disturbance and saw Boon and another man arguing.
Boon, wearing a black tracksuit and black baseball cap, was brandishing a baseball bat which he had pulled from the waistband of his trousers, while the second man, who was masked, had a knife.
Mr Maguire said: “They began swinging at each other and the witness asked if the store security officer would call police.”
Boon and the other man fled but the incident was captured on CCTV and Boon was identified from the footage and arrested the next day at the Tarragon House homelessness shelter in the town.
At Falkirk Sheriff Court on Wednesday, Boon, of Stirling, appearing by video link from Low Moss Prison where he is on remand, pled guilty on indictment to possessing the bat, an offensive weapon.
Jailing Boon for 12 months, Sheriff Keith O’Mahony said: “You have an extensive record for disorder and in the circumstances there’s no option but a custodial disposal.”
The late Big Mags Haney, also of Stirling, ran a heroin empire and a sheriff said her family had “brought misery on their local community for years”.
