Violent Suspect Threatens Judge with Gun Gesture During Wild Court Appearance [WATCH]

A South Australian man accused of violently attacking police officers at a busy beach made a gun gesture toward the judge during a sentencing hearing, then launched into a profanity-laced tirade, according to court proceedings on Tuesday, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Andrew Kevin Gollan, 25, appeared via video link before Judge Heath Barklay at Adelaide’s District Court as sentencing submissions were presented.

Gollan, from Morphettville, disrupted the hearing by forming a gun shape with his hands and pointing it at the judge while prosecutors began their final arguments.

The incident stems from Gollan’s arrest on January 23, 2024, at Christies Beach, where police were pursuing him in relation to an earlier assault.

During the confrontation, Gollan attacked officers in full view of beachgoers. Court-released footage shows a male officer being dragged into the ocean during the altercation.

Officer Kyle Hurcombe was struck in the face after a Taser fired at Gollan missed, and Gollan then threw a scooter at him.

During the court hearing, Gollan repeatedly shouted profanities, saying:

“Bulls**t, f**king dog. I’m not listening to this bulls**t bias … my brother just died … I’m not listening to this s**t. Can I go back to my f**king cell?”

Judge Barklay was forced to mute Gollan’s microphone after he refused to comply with court orders to remain silent. Gollan continued his outbursts by punching the camera and throwing a small object across the room, further disrupting the proceedings.

He then asked the judge if they wanted to:

“Talk s**t about me c**t”

Gollan has pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a worker, and one count each of resisting a police officer and causing aggravated harm with intent.

Gollan’s attorney, Sean Nottle, apologized for his client’s behavior and informed the court that Gollan had previously been diagnosed with bipolar personality disorder, PTSD, and polysubstance use disorder.

Nottle submitted a letter from Gollan expressing regret for his actions and stating his intention to become “the best man he can” moving forward.

“There is still some small amount of hope for this young man to be able to make good on what he has set out to … to make good on the promises and commitments that he has made to himself,” Nottle said.

The court heard that Gollan has spent parts of the past 10 months in solitary confinement. His sentencing is scheduled for May.
