Inverness Crime Roundup: Jail for Attackers, Attempted Murder Charge

This week, Inverness Sheriff Court handled several cases. Two men assaulted a local businessman, in an attack called “disgusting and brutal.” They each got 54 months in jail, and the sheriff said the crimes were very serious.

A man, age 47, faces attempted murder charges. He allegedly stabbed a 51-year-old man on Tomnahurich Street. Mark Macdonald is the accused from Inverness, and he supposedly knifed the victim in the neck.

A 24-year-old Inverness man mistreated his dog by starving it and skipping vet care for three months. The court ordered 100 hours of unpaid work, and he cannot own animals for five years.

Last summer, a teen went on a robbery spree. He used a bat, hammer, and screwdriver to menace four people in Inverness. Daniel Krogulek was 19 during most of the crimes.

A man was punched and knocked out in Inverness after a brief chat. The attacker repeatedly hit his face, and the victim fell, hitting his head. Benjamin Drummond admitted the assault, and the victim suffered severe injuries.
