DALMELLINGTON MAN JAILED FOR VIOLENT HOME INVASION
A THUG who showed up at his ex-partner’s home uninvited and trashed her property has been caged.
Gordon Pettigrew of Dalton Avenue, Dalmellington, loitered at the woman’s home, entered without permission, refused to leave, and threatened her in March this year.
On the same day, he struggled violently with her, kicked, struck, and threw furniture, appliances, and ornaments around the house, causing £5,000 worth of damage before struggling with the police.
The following month, Pettigrew behaved in a threatening and abusive manner to another lady who is his ex-wife.
Pettigrew, aged 49, appeared before Sheriff Desmond Leslie at Ayr Sheriff Court last week.
The prosecuting officer, Depute Fiscal Cath Whyte, detailed how Pettigrew confronted the woman, entered her house without invitation, and caused significant damage while verbally abusing her.
During court proceedings, his defense solicitor Ian Gillies acknowledged the seriousness of the matters.
Sheriff Leslie described Pettigrew’s conduct as deplorable and stated it was frightening for the woman.
Pettigrew has been jailed for 162 days, with the sentence deferred until September for the charge made by his ex-wife.
