A GREENOCK man has been charged with trying to pull four police officers towards a reservoir during an alleged struggle with them.

Thomas Kerr, 36, is further accused of attempting to kick three of the PCs at Coves Reservoir, near Larkfield Road.

Prosecutors say he repeatedly shouted, swore and made offensive comments and threats of violence on May 9 last year.

Kerr, of Broomhill Court, Ann Street, has pleaded not guilty through lawyer Aidan Gallagher at the sheriff court.

The case is due to call again on May 31.
