Police officers got an unexpected reaction when they went to help a Wick man at the seashore near the town.
Connor Taylor, described as having been “well under the influence of drink”, headbutted two of the officers and also bit one of them on both his arms and punched a third officer, Wick Sheriff Court heard.
The 16-year-old admitted a charge of assault and had sentence deferred until August 8 for a background report.
The incident occurred at Wick’s open air swimming pool, the North Bath, on April 4. The police had made their way to the shore following a report from a concerned member of the public.
The court heard that Taylor, of Northcote Street, Wick, was a local Army cadet, who hoped to make a career for himself in the regular Army.
