A 30-year-old man will be sentenced next month at Jedburgh Sheriff Court after being involved in a bust-up with his partner.

Wayne Stilwel of Woodstock Avenue, Galashiels, admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

He pleaded guilty to shouting and swearing, throwing his partner's mobile phone to the ground, forcing his way into a house and struggling violently with the woman before taking a baby and running from the house without supporting the nine month old's head.

Sentence was deferred for background reports until December 10 when a non-harassment order will be considered.
