FIFE MAN FINALLY JAILED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE BREACH
A 45-year-old man who was violent to a woman over a six-month period in Fife has been sent back to jail.Thomas Scrymgeour was jailed for the abuse earlier this year and put on a one-year supervised release order when he came out of prison.
He appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court by video-link to prison this week to admit breaching the order.
The original domestically-aggravated offending took place at various locations in Kirkcaldy – an address in Winifred Crescent, Kirkcaldy Wynd, Boots in the High Street, and Victoria Hospital – and elsewhere between December 12, 2023, and June 13 last year.
Scrymgeour had seized the woman by the clothing at her neck, grabbed her by the throat, pulled her hair, made derogatory remarks to her, pinned her to a wall, spat at her, and pushed his head forcefully against hers.
He also self-harmed in her presence, threatened to kill himself, pushed her, caused her to fall against a car, and sent her unwanted text messages.
Sheriff Susan Duff told Scrymgeour this week that he would be returned to prison for 309 days for the release order breach.
