A Wick man is facing a string of charges including police assault, threatening or abusive behaviour, and possession of an offensive weapon.
David Stobie tendered pleas of not guilty to the 13 counts at Wick Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
The indictment includes allegations that the 31-year-old repeatedly kicked two police officers and headbutted a third, spat at two of their colleagues, and resisted arrest. A further charge accuses Stobie of assaulting a man and attempting to strike him on the head with a wrench.
The incidents are said to have taken place on February 27, 2022, in Glamis Road, Wick, where Stobie lives.
His trial, before a jury, was fixed for March 20.
