A lout who shouted and swore near children playing in a Perthshire park during an altercation with his girlfriend then headbutted her at a birthday party has been banned from leaving his house at night for five months.
Perth Sheriff Court heard last week the woman was at Balmanno Play Park in Bridge of Earn with children one afternoon in July last year when Duncan McPhee turned up in a vehicle at around 4.40pm then started shouting and swearing at her and demanding she hand over £200.
“The complainer refused to provide the sum of money and asked the accused to leave the park,” fiscal depute Elizabeth Hodgson told the court.
