Nairn teen in trouble after incident at Inverness Railway Station
A Nairn teenager was told by a sheriff to stop getting drunk and into trouble with the police.
Aiden Beats, a 19-year-old groundsworker of Anne Crescent, appeared before Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald and admitted resisting arrest after officers were called to deal with two men fighting in Inverness Railway Station on September 27 last year.

Inverness Sheriff Court heard that when police arrived at the disturbance, rail staff were restraining one of the men on the ground until police took over.
But fiscal depute Victoria Silver said: "The accused was intoxicated and irate and was told to calm down. He refused and was hostile towards the officers. He tried to grab the body armour of one."
Defending, Graham Mann, who said his client admitted previous convictions, said: "When he takes too much drink his offences occur."
Sheriff Macdonald ordered Beats to carry out 90 hours of unpaid community work as an alternative to a fine and told him: "Stop getting drunk and behaving badly."
