A LANDSCAPE gardener has appeared in court for his aggressive behaviour when he couldn't accept that his 20 year relationship was over.

Blair Matthews, 40, turned up at his partner's home, in Cardenden, and started an argument demanding to know why their relationship had ended.

He then went from the property but came back again and aggressively knocked on the windows and door until the police turned up.

Matthews, of Mid Street, Kirkcaldy, previously admitted that on January 18 at an address in Cardenden, he did behave in a threatening or abusive manner that was likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear and alarm in that he act in a aggressive manner, repeatedly knock on the door and windows there, and place the lieges in a state of fear and alarm.

Defence solicitor, Russel McPhate, said Matthews and his partner had now reconciled but had found at the time that he was having difficulty accepting that their relationship was over given they had been together for 20 years.

Sheriff Craig McSherry admonished the case giving that the Matthews had been of good behaviour.
