A 43-YEAR-OLD man has been placed on a night-time curfew for the next nine months at his home in McLagan Drive, Hawick.

Bruce Turnbull pleaded guilty at Selkirk Sheriff Court to shouting and swearing, acting in an aggressive manner, uttering threats of violence and refusing to leave premises in the Borders on November 18 when requested to do so.

He also admitted assaulting two males during the same incident.

Turnbull must stay in his home between the hours of 7pm and 7am and a Non-Harassment Order was also imposed, keeping him away from his former partner for one year.
