Nairn dad locked out of house after cheating row
A father of four who suspected his partner of infidelity stormed out of the house only to be locked out on his return in the early hours.
Inverness Sheriff Court heard that 47 year old Garth Green of Stewart Street, Nairn, was banging on windows and kicked the front door in an attempt to gain entry, which resulted in his partner calling the police.
Fiscal depute Sophie Marshall told Sheriff Robert Frazer that the woman was fearful that Green would break the windows.

Green admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at their house on September 15, 2024.
Defence solicitor Rory Gowans told Inverness Sheriff Court: "The background to this is the break-up and ultimate end of a relationship which lasted 20 years.
"He had been drinking too much and dabbling with substances. He accepts the relationship is now over and is going to move on."
Sheriff Frazer deferred sentence until March 6 for Ms Marshall to obtain information about Green's former partner's attitude to a non harassment order being imposed.
