Inverness man banned from going to city street
A row after a recent break-up led to the arrest of an Inverness father-of-three who stormed into his ex-partner's house through her unlocked front door.
The incident occurred on the night of January 20 at a property in Temple Crescent with 39-year-old Neil Robinson, of Telford Street, shouting at the woman and threatening to punch her in the face.
He had to be escorted out by another occupant of the house and the police were contacted.
Fiscal depute Martina Eastwood told Inverness Sheriff Court that Robinson tipped a bin over outside, scattering rubbish all over the street before leaving the area.
He was arrested shortly afterwards.
Defending, Rory Gowans said: "He had far too much to drink and caused this commotion for which he is truly sorry. He accepts his relationship is over."
Sheriff Gary Aitken ordered Robinson to carry out 100 hours of unpaid community work and banned him from entering Temple Crescent for nine months as part of a non-harassment order.
