A man who barged his way into his ex-partner’s home in Perth, took her mobile phone from her during a row then trashed a number of household items on his way out again has been ordered to do unpaid work as his punishment.
Perth Sheriff Court heard last week Colin Swan went to his former partner’s Perth address uninvited at around 5pm one evening and started ringing her doorbell while she was on the phone to her father.
Fiscal depute Elizabeth Hodgson said the woman moved to lock the door when she realised it was Swan ringing the bell but he then began hitting the door and demanding she let him in.
