Islander jailed for assault

5 September 2018

An islander who attacked his ex-partner has been jailed for six months.

James Drummond Stewart, 46, of Stornoway pleaded guilty to the offence at Stornoway Sheriff Court.

Procurator fiscal Alison McKenzie told the court his victim suffered a red and bruised eye after he punched her.

Stewart’s defence solicitor said the assault occurred following an incident at a friend’s house.

Sheriff David Sutherland said there was “no alternative” but prison for the accused.
