Caleb Mallett

Caleb Mallett, 21, of Glenrothes, UK, has recently been involved in criminal proceedings at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, pleading guilty to three charges across two complaints.

Key facts and dates of the legal proceedings are as follows:

• December 9 (last year, likely 2025): Mallett was observed by police driving a Ford Focus in Thornton at 10:50 AM. During a pursuit on the A92, police reported speeds of up to 130 mph, but were unable to keep up and abandoned the chase. Mallett subsequently collided with another vehicle near Coaltown of Balgonie and failed to stop at the scene.
• December 18 (last year, likely 2025): Police encountered Mallett again at 10:50 PM leaving a property on Croft Crescent, Markinch. Upon seeing the police vehicle, Mallett reportedly became nervous and ducked back into the property. A subsequent search by officers revealed he was in possession of a knuckleduster.
• Court Appearances and Charges: Mallett pled guilty to the following charges:
• Dangerous driving on December 9, involving speeding, failing to maintain proper lookout, and colliding with another car.
• Failing to stop and exchange details at the scene of the crash.
• Possession of a knuckleduster on December 18, a breach of the Criminal Justice Act 1988.
• A plea of not guilty to possessing cannabis on December 18 was accepted.
• Court Decisions: Sheriff Robert More disqualified Mallett from driving and ordered background reports. Mallett is currently awaiting sentencing, which is scheduled for August. The Sheriff noted the seriousness of the dangerous driving charge, stating it "properly merits consideration of custody" and that "at that speed, you're a passenger in your own vehicle". The court also ordered the forfeiture of the knuckleduster.
