Crown Advocate Fiona Russell said he had been in an “ongoing dispute” with a neighbour and was throwing eggs and spitting at their door while adults and children were present.
Police spoke with witness on arrival and viewed mobile phone footage, at which point Troalic was seen walking around the estate.
Officers had been told that he had been carrying a samurai-style katana sword around, and so he was detained for a search. Troalic then began ignoring commands and a struggle ensued, with him continuing to swear and shout repeatedly.
He was taken to the ground but managed to free an arm which he used to elbow an officer in the face and continued to threaten them. Spray was used by police to little effect, according to Crown Advocate Russell.
A three-and-a-half-inch lock knife was found in his pocket, but no sword was on his person. He did have a weapon meeting that description in his home, however.
His last offence was committed in 2016, and he pleaded guilty to the charges when remanded earlier this year.

Advocate Sam Steel, defending, said the incident was a result of an alleged “campaign of neighbours to terrorise him”, but Troalic had responded “completely inappropriately and completely unjustifiably”.
It was claimed stones had been thrown at Troalic’s house.
He apologised for his actions which he felt let him down because he was “proud” of his seven-year stretch of good behaviour.
Troalic had consumed alcohol that day, Advocate Steel added. A psychiatrist report also noted that he had been showing signs of psychosis at the time, and he was “highly agitated” at the time of the incident.
No problems had occurred with the neighbour since, and Troalic had voluntarily surrendered his weapon collection, including the sword and archery equipment, Advocate Steel said.
He asked for a probation order to be issued rather than imprisonment due to his vulnerabilities.
Judge Gary Perry said he would give Troalic a chance despite the “serious offences” and his poor previous character, but said he hoped he wouldn’t come to regret the decision.
One month imprisonment was given for resisting arrest, two months for disorderly conduct, and three months for the assault on the officer and carrying a blade in public totalling eight months, but it was suspended for two years.
Troalic was made subject to an 18-month probation order and ordered to pay £200 in compensation to the assaulted officer.
