A serving police officer has been convicted of assaulting a teenager inside a marked police van in Dumfries.

James Donnolly, who is currently suspended from duty, grabbed the 15-year-old boy by his neck.

The attack in August 2021 caused the teenager to hit his head on the roof of the vehicle.

Donnelly, 33, from Brydekirk near Annan, had denied the charge, but was found guilty after a two-day trail at Dumfries Sheriff Court and fined £2,00.

Ch Sup Helen Harrison said Donnelly’s actions “go against everything Police Scotland stands for”.

She added: “All officers are bound by our Standards of Professional Behaviour, which apply on and off duty.

“Any instance where an officer fails to uphold our standards will be investigated and appropriate action taken.”
