News / Swerved car at girlfriend
A YOUNG construction worker was fined, disqualified and put under supervision at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Thursday morning after admitting swerving his car at his girlfriend during a night out in Mossbank, last month.
The court heard how Jamie Floyd with an address at the Sella Ness accommodation facility had committed the offence on the B9076 Voe to Mossbank on 20 April after drinking with friends and becoming upset with his then partner.
Sheriff Philip Mann told the 22 year old that the court was taking any case of domestic abuse extremely serious and said that he was “pretty close” to going to jail.
The sheriff disqualified Floyd from driving for a year and fined him £300.
He further placed him on a community payback order and told him to attend any counseling session social workers chose for him.
