ADAM WALLACE OF DUNFERMLINE SENTENCED FOR DOMESTIC ASSAULT AND BAIL BREACHES
In 2024, 29-year-old Adam Wallace, formerly of Rosyth and now residing in Blamey Crescent, Cowdenbeath, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court to face charges of domestic assault and breach of bail conditions.Wallace admitted to striking his partner on the head on January 21 at Whirlbut Crescent, Dunfermline, after returning home intoxicated following an evening of drinking.
The court was informed that on February 1, Wallace breached his bail by entering a house he was prohibited from accessing.
The relationship between Wallace and his partner, which had lasted six years, included an incident where he started shouting and then slapped her in the face after being told to sleep in the spare room.
In response to the assault, the victim called her mother to report the incident to the police.
When questioned by officers, Wallace confessed, saying: 'I’ll be honest, I did slap her on the face.' The court also noted that Wallace had previous convictions for domestic offenses.
Sheriff Garry Sutherland sentenced Wallace to a community payback order comprising 90 hours of unpaid work, one year of supervision, and a fine of £210.
In 2017, a dispute between Wallace and a friend—who was then dating Wallace’s ex-partner—led to legal proceedings.
Wallace was ordered not to contact this former friend but violated this order by visiting his home on Urquhart Crescent during the night after an unsuccessful attempt to arrange a fight.
Additionally, he shouted abusive language and threw a garden ornament through a window.
Sheriff Charles MacNair commented, “Arranging a fight is not acceptable.
We don’t allow dueling with fists and haven’t done so for a very long time.” At that time, Wallace, aged 22, from William Street, appeared before Dunfermline Sheriff Court to be sentenced for these actions.
He admitted that on June 4, he breached bail conditions by visiting the man’s residence, shouting at him, and smashing a window.
He had also previously admitted to threatening and abusive behavior on June 26 of the previous year.
The court was told that the conflict arose from Wallace’s disapproval of his ex-partner's relationship with the friend.
The incidents involved Wallace shouting outside the house and disturbing the couple’s sleep at around 3 a.m., followed by throwing a garden ornament through a window.
Sheriff MacNair imposed restrictions of liberty orders on both charges—one for four months and the other for 140 days—both to be served consecutively.
—————————————————————————————————— WALLACE BACK IN COURT WITH A NEW OFFENCE —————————————————————————————————— In Fife, a woman’s wardrobe was dismantled and her clothing removed by Adam Wallace amid ongoing abuse, despite the presence of two court orders designed to protect her.
Wallace, had admitted to a pattern of domestic violence committed in Rosyth during the year and breaching non-harassment orders (NHOs).
He physically assaulted her by grabbing her neck, pinning her against a wall, and shouting repeatedly.
He also took apart her wardrobe and, telling her he was removing it, took her clothing.

Wallace also made repeated phone calls, visited her home numerous times, shouted, banged on her windows, and made derogatory remarks while refusing to leave.
During this period, Wallace was subject to two NHOs issued in October 2024 and April 2025.
