Daniel Hutchison (43), of Bo’ness, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Tuesday charged with the domestic assault of a woman at an address in Union Street, Bo’ness on April 30.

He was also arrested for a breach of the peace for threatening and abusive behaviour.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “A 43-year-old man has appeared before Falkirk Sheriff Court following a report of domestic assault at an address in Union Street, Bo’ness, on Saturday, April 30.”

Mr Hutchison is further accused of sending a letter from an undertaker to another woman at her home in Broxburn and has been charged with an offence under section 127 of the Communications Act.
