A Thurso man who was abusive towards his ex-partner on New Year’s day will be under supervision for 18 months.
The sentence was imposed on Gordon Harper (38) after he pleaded guilty at Wick Sheriff Court last week.
During the unwelcome visit to the woman’s home, Harper, of Couper Terrace, Thurso, acted in an aggressive manner, made abusive comments, refused to leave and uttered threats of violence.
Sheriff Sara Matheson, who considered a background report, referred the accused to the Caledonian Programme to help him address his problem with alcohol.
She also actioned a non-harassment order banning him from having any contact with the victim.
