Dumbarton Sheriff Court, where Christopher Boyle was sentenced on July 13
THE family of a former soldier reportedly suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder was told by his GP to call police to help him get hospital assistance, a court has heard.
Christopher Boyle, who was said to have served in Afghanistan, was arrested in 2020 and 2021 for his abusive behaviour.
But his defence solicitor told Dumbarton Sheriff Court last week that it did not get Boyle the medical intervention he needed.
The 31-year-old, who was also said to have an alcohol problem, was not banned from drinking by a sheriff because that was “setting him up to fail”.
