A former engineer who held a gun to a pensioner’s head after a row over sheep on his land has been spared a fresh jail term.

Brian Capstick, 52, from Ecclefechan, turned on William Hodgson, 68, ranting about a £200 debt. Mr Hodgson was left “terrified” after Capstick fired a near 80-year-old revolver into the air before pressing the weapon against the OAP’s face.

The victim was able to escape before alerting police. Capstick was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday. He had pleaded guilty in March to a breach of the peace and two separate firearms charges from the incident on December 11 2019.

Capstick was jailed for five years in England in 2020 for pointing a gun at his parents and firing it in their home two days after the incident with Mr Hodgson.
