"He began throwing items around the house and then kicked a door, causing it to break.”

Defence solicitor Lynn Swan said the couple had now separated.

Sheriff Christopher Shead noted Leebody, 85 Ladysmill, Falkirk, failed to recognise the “nature and extent” of his offending.

He placed him on a supervised community payback order for two years with the condition he complete 135 hours unpaid work within 12 months.
