Blondie threat thug caged for chilling "I kill for fun" warning to Scots cops

A thug once jailed for singing Blondie was caged again today - for threatening to murder police officers.
Robert Fraser chillingly told officers "I kill for fun" - and threatened to put a bullet in their heads.
The 54-year-old made the threats when they were sent to investigate his rammy at a homeless hostel.
He had shouted and swore at staff at the complex in Paisley, Renfrewshire, in March this year in a rage.
He erupted during the incident because he was hungry and had been told there was no food for him to eat.
Procurator Fiscal Depute John Waite told Paisley Sheriff Court today, Monday, May 11, 2026: "He immediately became hostile to police and began issuing threats.
"He said, 'I'll f****** kill you. I'll put a bullet through your head. I'll kill you point blank. I kill for fun.'."
Fraser had been remanded in custody since March, when he pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive way over the case.
Sheriff Bruce Erroch KC told him: "Your behaviour was disgraceful, to someone at the homeless unit who was trying to help you, and then you behaved even more disgracefully when police arrived.
"This kind of behaviour simply can't be tolerated. A prison sentence has to be imposed, in my mind."
He jailed Fraser for four months, reduced from six months as he admitted his guilt.
Fraser has landed in court over a number of bizarre offences in his life, including abusing his ex-girlfriend by singing to her and embarking on a drunken journey similar to that of Tam O'Shanter.
He had previously been accused of dousing the woman in question in petrol and threatening to set her on fire.
He had not seen her in years but let himself into her home and proceeded to threaten her by singing Blondie hit One Way Or Another to her.
He repeatedly sang the "I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya" line of the 1978 hit.
He also had a drunken escapade mimicking that of Tam O'Shanter, from the Robert Burns poem.
After drinking in his home in Paisley, he got the train to Ayr, walking the two-and-a-half miles from Ayr train station to Burns Cottage, in Alloway.
He spent a short while admiring the cottage - which hosts the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum - then left, clutching a bottle of vodka.
And just like Tam O'Shanter - from the 1790 poem of the same name which is set at Alloway Kirk, just a stone's throw from Burns Cottage - he embarked on a surreal journey.
While making the trip back to Ayr on foot, he took a wrong turn - and walked the 16 miles to Kilmarnock.
He was arrested outside the Burns Mall in Kilmarnock in the early hours of March 8, 2016, by police who spotted him jumping up and down and running round in circles, like he was warming up for a football match.
They arrested him for being drunk and incapable of looking after himself and, as they tried to place handcuffs on him, he began shouting and swearing at the officers and threatened them with violence.
At the time, defence solicitor Eamonn McGeehan said Fraser's antics had been "with a nod to the bard" - adding: "In the spirit of Tam O'Shanter and his excess, he headed to Kilmarnock with a bottle of vodka under his arm."
