Drunken Camelon man who pulled pliers on wife avoids imprisonment
Brian Martin (40), 12 Wilson Avenue, Camelon, pled guilty to pushing his spouse, seizing her by the hair and neck, throwing a plastic bottle at her and presenting pliers to her at an address in Kerr Crescent, Haggs on April 5.
The court heard his wife, who wants to continue their 23-year relationship, screamed to neighbours for help.
