A teenage Covidiot challenged cops to fight and tried to spit on the face of an officer.
Jay Roney, 18, also bragged: “I could have given the polis Covid.”
Out-of-control Roney kicked off at police constables during a rammy at his home.
Officers had to place a spit hood over his head and ordered a cell van because of his “violent demeanour.”
Paisley Sheriff Court heard Roney, who was out on a bail curfew, lost the plot when cops showed up at the property in Erskinefauld Road, Linwood, to check he was indoors on the evening of March 28, this year.
Procurator fiscal depute Ed Sheeran said: “Police attended at the address and were granted entry by the accused’s father.
“The accused Roney was in the living room. He stood up from a couch and gestured outward with his arms attempting to goad the officers.
“He was shouting, ‘Go f*** yourselves!’
“The accused then spat towards an officer’s face.
“Contact was avoided by the constable moving out of the way.”
Roney was taken to the floor by the cops when he began thrashing around.
The prosecutor added: “He began kicking out. He pulled his arms in close to his body, however, after a struggle handcuffs were applied.
“He continued shouting and swearing.
“Officers requested a cell van because of Roney’s violent demeanour.
“He continued struggling and a spit hood was applied to his head.”
The court heard Roney then made the vile boast he might have given cops the killer virus.
While at the police station he told them: “I could have given the polis Covid.”
He appeared from custody where he pleaded guilty to a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner, likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm, where he shouted and swore at police, acted aggressively, kicked out, and struggled with three constables.
He also admitted a charge of assault by attempting to spit on a police officer’s head.
Roney also pleaded guilty to breaking of his curfew several times in March by being out of his address when police performed bail checks.
Defence agent David Nicholson confirmed his client was admitting responsibility for the offences.
However he urged the court to take into account his client’s young age when considering his punishment.
Mr Nicholson also reserved his submission in defence of his client until after the court had obtained background reports.
Roney who is awaiting sentence on other matters will be brought back to court later this week.
Sheriff Brian Mohan who remanded him in custody said: “I will continue consideration of this case until you are due back in court.
“I will hear from your lawyer then.”
