Scots sex offender who walked into social work office armed with knives facing jail
25.05.2022 - 16:45 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A convicted sex offender subject to a public protection order who walked into a social work office armed with two knives and a pair of scissors is facing jail.
Barry Buchanan, 47, was being supervised by staff at the Brockville social work office in Falkirk following an incident where he offered a group of schoolgirls £250 to give him oral sex and threatened to slit a child's throat.
Falkirk Sheriff Court heard that about 9.00am on March 1st this year, he was met at the door of the social work office by his supervisor, and she let him into the premises, where a number of other social workers were also present.
Prosecutor Kristina Kelly said: "His supervisor engaged in conversation with him, at which point he produced a knife from a carrier bag and said words similar to, 'I've got this to slash somebody if they come near me'."
He was told he should leave the knife at reception, which he did, after changing his story to say he had it "for cutting meat".
His supervisor then took him into an interview room.
During a comfort break, he was heard by other staff members to make reference to "slashing" and other similar phrases.
He then produced a pair of scissors from the same carrier bag, saying, "I've also got these."
A police officer then arrived to join the interview, as Buchanan was under a Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) order which involved a Police Scotland input.
