AN AMERICAN chaplain threatened to rob a Rosyth bank and then made racist comments towards an employee. David Cole, 59, formerly a pastor in the United States, became irate when told he could not have a face-to-face appointment at his local TSB branch. He ranted that he had walked two miles to get there when told he would have to go online to use the bank’s services. Cole then said to the startled worker: “What if I pulled a knife out and robbed you and go inside the bank.” Cole, who was once chaplain to his local fire department in the US, moved to Scotland several years ago and is currently on benefits.
TWO 16-year-old youths have appeared in court following attacks on two younger boys in Inverkeithing. The two youths, one from Inverkeithing and the other from Dalgety Bay, cannot be named for legal reasons. At Dunfermline Sheriff Court, they admitted that on September 17, at Hillend Road, Inverkeithing, they assaulted a boy then aged 15 by kicking him on the head and body repeatedly to his injury. The Inverkeithing youth also admitted that he assaulted another 15-year-old boy by seizing him by the neck and striking him on the head with his knee, to his injury. Sheriff Alison Michie deferred sentence until October 27 for good behaviour.
