On two occasions in November, Jordan Middleton went to her home and behaved in an abusive manner, shouting and swearing, demanding to get in and throwing food at a window.

He back at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday to explain why he has failed to co-operate with the order and breached bail by contacting the woman.

The court heard Middleton, from 9 Kilmory Court, Tamfourhill, still had 73 hours unpaid work to do.

His lawyer Lynn Swan told he had difficulty with his back and had been looking after his grandad , but a court social worker said many of his absences were unexplained.

Sheriff Derek Livingston called for a report on the suitability of a restriction of liberty order and remanded Middleton in custody until September 27.
