Anti-asylum protest organiser admits abusing officer

The leader of an anti-immigration group in Falkirk, who've been protesting outside asylum hotels, has admitted abusing a police officer.

28-year-old Connor Graham was the organiser of Save Our Futures & Our Kids Futures until it disbanded earlier this week.

The group have been protesting outside the Cladhan, concerned about the venue housing asylum seekers.

Graham pleaded guilty to statutory breach of the peace.

It includes saying threatening remarks to an on-duty PC.

The prosecution accepted Graham's plea of not guilty to a second charge alleging he was attempting to incite violence.

Sentencing has been deferred to March 6th.
