Good news! Man charged after being there that day (13/05/21) has been acquitted.

He was claimed to have refused to exit a car to "let border agents leave an operation."

Nicholas Sigsworth, 33, was alleged to have resisted, obstructed or hindered three officers carrying out their duties in Glasgow’s Kenmure Street in Pollokshields on May 13, 2021.

The charge stated that Sigsworth repeatedly refused to leave a police motor vehicle.

It was claimed Sigsworth, of York, went on to struggle with the constables.

Sigsworth faced an alternative charge of conducting himself in a disorderly manner by refusing to leave the vehicle, struggling with the officers and committing breach of the peace.

Paul Gallagher, defending, asked [constable Steven Fergus, "witness"] if it was possible that Sigsworth did not hear the request to remove the Skoda.

PC Fergus replied: “It is possible.”

The officer also denied suggestions from Mr Gallagher that he and his colleagues were heavy handed.

Sheriff Amel Elfallah found Sigsworth not guilty of the charge.
