JORDAN BUTLER FROM FIFE STRANGLES PARTNER IN DUNFERMLINE AND OAKLEY
Jordan Butler, aged 27 and residing at 155 Broomhead Drive in Dunfermline, was involved in a disturbing incident where he attempted to strangle his former partner in front of their young daughter.The assault took place at an address in Oakley, and the details of the case reveal a pattern of violence and aggressive behavior that has brought him back into the criminal justice system.
According to court records, Butler had previously been ordered in July of the previous year to complete 225 hours of unpaid work as part of his sentence.
However, it was noted that he had only managed to fulfill 96 hours of this requirement, raising concerns about his compliance with court orders.
Butler appeared once again before Dunfermline Sheriff Court to face charges related to the assault.
The court proceedings detailed a series of violent acts committed on April 15th of the previous year.
On that day, at a residence in Oakley, Butler engaged in a physical struggle with his former partner.
During this altercation, he seized her by the neck, causing her to be unable to breathe.
The incident reportedly occurred while both were drinking together, and Butler began making accusations about her past, which escalated the situation.
Further details reveal that the woman was in her bedroom, engaged in a Facebook conversation with her sister, when Butler entered the room and pinned her down by the neck.
She struggled to breathe but managed to break free from his grip.
Following this, she called the police to report the assault.
The situation intensified when Butler grabbed her again around the neck, prompting her to scream for help.
Her sister, witnessing the distress, also contacted law enforcement authorities.
In light of these events, Sheriff Garry Sutherland took decisive action.
He revoked the previous court order that had been issued and imposed a fine of £520 on Butler.
The case underscores the ongoing issues of domestic violence and the importance of legal measures to protect victims from further harm.
