AYR MAN FINED £1300 FOR ATTACKING EX-GIRLFRIEND'S CAR WITH GOLF CLUB
A man has been ordered to pay nearly £1300 in compensation to his ex-partner after attacking her car with a golf club.Grant Graham of Trefoil place, Ayr, pled guilty to behaving in an abusive and threatening manner towards his girlfriend at the time.
The 24-year-old had been with his partner for two years before the callous act on September 17.
Two days prior, Graham’s partner ended their relationship, after which he made a series of threatening calls, prior to the incident.
The complainant received a phone call while out with friends regarding a joint household pet that she had arranged to be looked after elsewhere.
Graham then uttered threats such as ‘You all better watch your back’.
Court heard that Graham persistently called the woman, ranting about the animal and other unrelated issues, stating: ‘I’m going to make your life hell’ and ‘I’m going to smash your car’.
Following this, Graham went to the complainant’s house and proceeded to smash her car with a gold club, causing significant damage to her Audi A1.
The incident was captured on video by his former partner before he fled the scene.
He was later traced by police, admitted overdosing and the damage caused to the car, and acknowledged possessing the gold club.
The vandal has been ordered to pay £1258 in compensation and damages.
He remains on bail, with conditions not to contact or approach his ex-girlfriend in any way, and to stay away from her home or workplace.
