Inverness mental health nurse’s Hogmanay row ends in three-figure fine
Back-to-back 13-hour shifts so exhausted a mental health nurse that the consumption of alcohol quickly led to a Hogmanay argument with her partner.
Sandra Glavecka's lawyer, told Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald that the 38-year-old was in a toxic relationship with Roman Bowie who was no stranger to the courts, and he was unsympathetic when his very tired girlfriend returned to their home in Culduthel Park, Inverness at 8.30pm on December 31, last year.
Inverness Sheriff Court heard that she began yelling at him and when he shut himself in a bedroom, she was banging on the door to be allowed in.
Fiscal depute Sophie Marshall said that when Bowie emerged to retrieve his mobile phone, a struggle ensued.
Glavecka admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
Defence solicitor John MacColl said: "This resulted from a combination of exhaustion, alcohol and the behaviour of her partner who has been in every court Scotland has to offer apart from the High Court. The relationship was a toxic one."
Glavecka was fined £420.
