He seized her by the body and attempted to pull her from a vehicle.
He repeatedly phoned her from a withheld number in excess of 150 times and made threats and accused her of meeting another male.
On February 4 at Johnston Park, Cowdenbeath, he repeatedly shouted and swore at police officers, challenged them to fight, made threats of violence towards them.
