A MAN who was jailed for nine months after assaulting his partner yelled at a sheriff and fought with court officers as he was taken to the cells.
Paul Thomas Richmond, 30, of 8 Princes Street, Campbeltown, pleaded guilty on December 5 to a charge of seizing his partner by the hair and dragging her down the stairs three days earlier, and to a charge of brandishing a bottle at the police, with a further charge of resisting arrest.
Earlier, the procurator fiscal told the court about the incident on December 2, when a neighbour heard an incident in the common close.
