| Red Rose Database
Lochgelly Domestic Abuser
In a series of troubling incidents that have brought him before the courts, Terry Comiskey, a resident of Lochgelly, has been involved in aggressive and violent behavior that has raised serious concerns among local authorities and the community alike.
Most recently, Comiskey, aged 25 and residing on South Street, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court to face charges related to an incident that occurred on March 24 and 25. The charges stemmed from his conduct on High Street, Lochgelly, where he behaved in a highly aggressive manner towards his pregnant partner, who was then nine weeks into her pregnancy.
According to court records, Comiskey admitted to a series of disturbing actions during this period. He was accused of making abusive remarks, including calling his partner an “ugly, fat, lazy cow,” and of physically disrupting her attempt to leave in her car. Specifically, he removed the keys from the ignition, preventing her from driving away, and then escalated his behavior by shouting loudly, swearing, kicking the vehicle, and even throwing himself onto the bonnet to obstruct her departure.
Further, Comiskey was found to have sent threatening and abusive messages to his partner, which included swearing, insults, and threats to damage her property if she did not return his phone. The situation worsened when he pulled off the windscreen wiper of her car, an act that added to the severity of his misconduct.
Depute fiscal Azrah Yousaf explained that Comiskey’s actions had prompted the police to intervene. The authorities were called initially during the incident on High Street, and later when the victim received harassing messages from Comiskey, which included threats to throw out her belongings if she failed to return his phone.
During the court proceedings, defense solicitor David McLaughlin acknowledged the gravity of Comiskey’s behavior, describing it as “appalling” especially considering his partner was pregnant with his child. He emphasized that Comiskey had shown remorse and expressed feelings of guilt. The solicitor also noted that Comiskey was intoxicated during the two-day period in question.
In response, Sheriff Charles Macnair condemned the actions, highlighting Comiskey’s “dreadful record” that included previous offenses of serious violence. The sheriff sentenced Comiskey to a community payback order, requiring him to complete 160 hours of unpaid work and to be under supervision for two years. The sheriff confirmed that Comiskey was deemed fit to undertake the unpaid work but warned that if he later became unfit due to mental health issues, the only alternative would be custody. Additionally, a non-harassment order was issued, lasting for one year, to prevent further contact or harassment of the victim.
Earlier in 2020, Comiskey, then aged 22 and living on South Avenue, had appeared before the court for a different incident. He had admitted to acting in a threatening and abusive manner on December 22, 2018, at St Margaret Street, Dunfermline, during an altercation that resulted in a woman being injured. Solicitor James Moncrieff explained that the incident occurred after a night out involving alcohol consumption, which contributed to the argument and subsequent struggle. Comiskey expressed a desire to move on from his past criminal behavior, aware that any future court appearances could result in a custodial sentence if he continued down this path.
These incidents underscore a pattern of concerning behavior by Terry Comiskey, raising ongoing questions about his conduct and the safety of those around him in Lochgelly and beyond.
