A drunk Scot who caused a disturbance on board a Ryanair flight after claiming he had been served up a cold lasagne has escaped a jail term by the "narrowest of margins".
Samuel Smith shouted at cabin crew that his pasta meal was "f***ing freezing" before yelling "Ryanair is sh*te" during his angry outburst. Smith, 64, then lashed out at his wife who was attempting to calm him down by taking off his wedding ring and launching it at his embarrassed spouse.
The aircraft's captain was made aware of the on board row and alerted police who were waiting for Smith when the plane landed at Edinburgh Airport in August 2020. Smith pleaded guilty to a charge of committing a breach of the peace during the flight from Gran Canaria when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last year.

Sheriff Adrian Fraser said: "As I have indicated to you, this is a very serious offence committed against the background of domestic offending and given the location on board an aeroplane. However [custody] will not address your domestic offending and it would directly impact your wife and deprive her of your income.
"Your offending is at least partly alcohol related and I have been told you have stopped drinking. Given all this, I consider by the narrowest of margins that there is an alternative to custody."
Smith, from Springburn, Glasgow, was placed on a supervision order for 28 months and told he must complete 270 hours of unpaid work in the community as a direct alternative to custody. Sheriff Fraser also issued a conduct requirement whereby Smith will have to attend alcohol counselling and a domestic abuse
