A DRUNK teenager from Ayr who jumped on a rail track during a night out with friends has to wait to find out his fate.

First offender Jack Robson travelled from his home in Rozelle Terrace to Irvine to see his friends on July 28 this year.

The evening ended with him shouting offensive comments towards people at Irvine train station and standing on the train line. 

The 18-year-old appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on October 21 for sentencing after pleading guilty by letter to two charges earlier in the year.

He admitted to trespassing on the railway line, owned by Network Rail, in dangerous proximity to lines of railway at the station on New Street.

The teenager also pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening and abusive manner by shouting, swearing and uttering offensive comments.

The offence was aggravated by prejudice relating to colour, race, nationality, or ethnicity or national origins.

At the sentencing, Robson's solicitor Peter Murray said: "You can see he is suited and booted and takes the matter very seriously.

"He is absolutely humiliated by his conduct. He is well aware of the disturbance he caused at the train station to public service users. There is no excuse for his behaviour.

"He has friends in Irvine and travelled to Irvine for a night out with them. He had far too much to drink. 

"The one thing to his credit is that he is very remorseful of his conduct and he appears [at court] with no record."

Sheriff Colin Bissett said: "That was somewhat a bizarre incident involving Mr Robson.

"You took responsibility for your actions and that is to your credit. I asked you to appear before me because I was concerned about the incident which not only involved the terribly abusive behaviour towards the people at the train station, but also involves you jumping on the rail track itself.

"I will put you to the test and see whether or not this is a one off incident."

Sentencing has been deferred until April next year for Robson to be of good behaviour.
