Dunfermline Sheriff Court
A DUNFERMLINE man sent threatening messages to his former partner in Ballingry after they broke up.
Michael Ross, 32, of Gilfillan Road, appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
He admitted that on May 19 at an address in Ballingry, he sent text messages which were abusive and contained threats of violence to his former partner.
One of the messages was: “I’ve had to stop four people smashing your face.”
Another was: “You’re f***** like.”
Defence solicitor Ian Beatson said: “He had been drinking quite heavily since the separation.”
Sheriff Craig McSherry imposed a community payback order with 100 hours of unpaid work.
