Skye man breaches order protecting ex in Dunbartonshire
But on January, his former partner received text messages of a threatening and abusive nature. She lives in the area covered by Dumbarton Sheriff Court.
On April 15, the 31-year-old appeared from custody at the court and pleaded guilty to breaching the non-harassment order (NHO).
Defence solicitor Jonathan Paul said his client had an issue with alcoholism and his criminal record was on Skye.
"It's clear alcohol has a grip on him," he said. "His relationship ended, he started drinking again."
Mr Paul said there were bail options and that custody "would be a revolving door".
Sheriff James Mulgrew said there were "difficulties" admitting him to bail considering his recent and relevant record.
He told MacInnes, listed in papers as a prisoner at Low Moss: "The order was imposed in July at sheriff and jury level and the sheriff's order was for 10 years."

Alexandria man pleads guilty to having knife in Dumbarton
Jordan Daldry appeared from custody last week and pleaded guilty to having a knife in the Dumbarton Lidl and the town's High Street. He was led into the dock seemingly without apparent injury and the circumstances of his fall were not revealed. Dumbarton Sheriff Court heard that around 5.30pm on July 31, 2024, he and a woman entered the Lidl. And after a short period of time, she passed a knife to Daldry. They left the shop and police were contacted. Daldry was spotted on CCTV outside the Morrisons Daily, which is where officers found him just before 6pm. He was searched and a silver knife with a black handle was found in his waistband. The 28-year-old, of Munro Street, Alexandria, pleaded guilty on July 8 to having the weapon. He previously repeatedly broke a non-harassment order (NHO) not to approach or contact his ex. And after each breach, he was released on bail and did it again. READ MORE: Former cop caught driving while disqualified after crash Daldry was handed the NHO in December 2022, banning any contact from his ex. He has repeatedly broken that. On November 20 last year, at the West Dunbartonshire Council headquarters next to the court, he arrived with the woman. That was reported to police. Nine days later, police were told they were together again and forced their entry to a property. They saw Daldry trying to escape. On January 9 this year, police attended a property in Dumbarton, forcing their way in and discovering him with the woman. He had two bail orders from October and December 2024 at the time. On February 20 this year, at various Dumbarton streets and outside a primary school, he broke the NHO again and shouted at the woman. It was the school's headteacher who reported Daldry's behaviour. He had three bail orders from a month earlier.

Breaking bail orders were also separate charges. Sheriff Robert Carr identified a "pattern of behaviour" where the woman was "voluntarily" placing herself in situations where she and Daldry communicated with each other. His defence solicitor said the NHO was imposed by the court, but the former partner had not wanted it. There had been no formal request to lift the NHO. "He appreciates it's there for a reason, notwithstanding the views of the complainer," said the solicitor of his client. He said of the knife charge, his client "should have declined" when the woman passed him the blade. Daldry was placed on a structured deferred sentence previously. "It did not start well, and deteriorated," said the solicitor. "He jumped from a seventh-floor window." That resulted in injuries including three fractures to his back and his elbow. Daldry had already served some time locked up over the charges. Sheriff Carr sentenced him to a further four months in jail over the knife. He was admonished for the NHO breaches.

Football fan breached court order and ended up with jail term
Thomas Park was arrested as he wasn't supposed to have any contact with the woman after he was convicted of assaulting her. A domestic abuser who planned to watch an Old Firm cup final with his partner landed a nine-month jail sentence instead. Thomas Park was arrested as he wasn't supposed to have any contact with the woman after he was convicted of assaulting her. When officers spotted them together on December 15 they discovered he was the subject of a one-year non-harassment order. Park, 43, formerly of Loch Assynt, East Kilbride, admitted breaching the order and separate bail conditions simply by being in Ms Frame's company. Hamilton Sheriff Court heard the couple were seen chatting at a bus stop in Union Street, Hamilton, around lunchtime. They were planning to watch the Celtic-Rangers League Cup final on TV in Glasgow. Danielle McDonald, prosecuting, said: "On seeing the police, the woman made efforts to walk away, but she and Park were stopped. Checks revealed he was in breach of a non-harassment order and bail conditions." Defence lawyer Andy Thomson said the one-year NHO has now expired, adding: "The woman was never supportive of it. "She has mental health and addiction issues. She sees Thomas Park as the only person who can give her the support she needs. "There had been an attempt in court to have the NHO removed, but a sheriff refused this. "On the day in question there was a football cup final in Glasgow and they had decided to go to the city to watch the match. "My client has paid a heavy price for that as he has been in custody since his arrest in December. "They don't have their troubles to seek." Park was jailed for nine months, backdated to December 16, but Sheriff Colin Dunipace decided not to impose a fresh NHO. *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
