A woman was grabbed by the throat during a domestic assault.
The offender was 27-year-old Thomas Paton, of Martin Crescent, Ballingry, who has now been sentenced.
He had admitted his guilt after his trial had started at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
Paton admitted that on February 9 and 10 at an address in Ballingry, he assaulted his partner.
He grabbed her by the throat, pushed her to the ground and seized her by the arm.
Paton also made abusive remarks, accused her of infidelity and flicked water on her face whilst she was sleeping.
Defence solicitor Iain Loach said: “It was a turbulent relationship and is now over.”
Sheriff Neil Kinnear imposed a community payback order with 150 hours of unpaid work.
