SEAN ADAMSON MCDOUGALL FROM KELTY SENTENCED AFTER VIOLENT OUTBURST IN DUNFERMLINE
Sean Adamson McDougall, a resident of North Drum Street in Kelty, appeared before Dunfermline Sheriff Court to face sentencing following a series of violent and destructive actions.The court was informed that on December 17, McDougall committed a serious assault on his then-partner at a residence on Adamson Crescent in Dunfermline.
According to court records, he forcibly grabbed her by the body and pushed her to the ground, an act that demonstrated a clear breach of personal safety and a moment of intense violence.
In addition to the assault, McDougall caused damage to property within the same incident.
He threw a mobile phone against a wardrobe, resulting in the device breaking, and also punched a door, leaving it visibly damaged.
His aggressive behavior extended to the front door of the property, where he repeatedly banged on it and issued threats to force his way inside, escalating the situation further and creating a tense and dangerous environment.
During the proceedings, defence solicitor Stephen Morrison explained that McDougall’s relationship with the victim was brief, lasting only a few months.
The incident was reportedly triggered after McDougall had been caring for his partner’s child while she was at work.
The situation escalated early in the morning when the child’s crying woke them up, leading to a heated argument that culminated in the violent outburst.
The court took these factors into account when passing sentence.
Sheriff David Hall imposed a community payback order that includes a year of supervision, aimed at rehabilitating McDougall and preventing future offences.
Additionally, he was subject to a two-month restriction of liberty order, restricting his movements during that period.
To further protect the victim, McDougall was also placed under a one-year non-harassment order, prohibiting any contact or communication with her.
These measures reflect the seriousness with which the court viewed the incident, emphasizing both punishment and the need for ongoing supervision to ensure safety and accountability.
