“Police arrived at Donnelly’s home address in Paisley where they met the accused at the front door and he granted the police access.
“A short time later, Donnelly became aggressive and began to punch windows, shouting and swearing at the police, stating: ‘You’s can all f**k off,’ ‘You’s are all f*****g c***s, you’s killed my dad.’’
