Three people are facing court over an alleged lockdown party in Aberdeen.
While Downing Street staff including Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak are to be handed fixed penalty notices for lockdown-defying gatherings, a man and two women from Aberdeen are facing the prospect of a trial.
Christopher Munro, known as Christie, 30, of Creel Court, Cove, Stephanie Wozniak, 30, and Paula McGarvie, 28, all deny contravening Covid rules by attending an indoor gathering at a property in Seaton Walk consisting of people from more than one household on March 27 2021.
The trio also entered pleas of not guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by refusing to allow police access to a common close, shouting, swearing, making threats and behaving in an aggressive manner towards officers.
Trio deny all charges against them
McGarvie, of Seaton Road, Aberdeen, also pled not guilty to a charge of assaulting a police officer by striking him on the head with her head to his injury.
Wozniak, whose Seaton Walk address is the locus of the alleged gathering, denied assaulting another officer by repeatedly kicking him to the body, and also being in possession of cannabis.
Sheriff Duncan Hamilton fixed a further pre-trial hearing in the case for October and set a trial date in November.
The Prime Minister did not attend either event.
