A GOUROCK man has been charged with assaulting two police officers to injury after allegedly bombarding his ex-partner with unwanted phone messages.
Marc Cox, 44, is accused of struggling violently with the male PCs who had gone to his Cardwell Road home to arrest him.
Prosecutors say he repeatedly kicked one officer and lashed out with his arms towards another during the alleged incident on February 8.
Cox is also charged with persistently sending text messages and voicemails to his ex as well as repeatedly making phone calls to her.
The Crown say he did this 'for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needlessly anxiety'.
Cox has pleaded not guilty to all charges through lawyer Ellen Macdonald at Greenock Sheriff Court.
The case is due to call again on March 23.
