An argument over dinner plans led an offender to kick his partner to the head leaving her with a swollen cheek and a bloody nose.

William Laird, 62, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour and assault – kicking a woman on the head to her injury – at an address in Calder Place, Hallglen.

Procurator fiscal depute Ann Orr said: “The accused and the complainer were at home consuming alcohol together, watching a football game and there were no issues at that time.

"The accused was not happy, shouting at her to shut her mouth and he kicked her on the head. She felt pain in her cheek and nose. He continued to call her names like ‘cow’ and she realised her nose was bleeding.
