A dad kicked out for boozing all night lobbed a wheelie bin through his own window.
David Fadian, 34, spent the previous day and night drowning his sorrows after a funeral.
He was turfed out after coming home late — then slipped after trying to force his way back in.
At Paisley Sheriff Court this week, Fadian admitted causing fear or alarm.
Prosecutor Jennifer McKee told how he grabbed the bin after girlfriend Laura Ponsonby refused to let him in.
She said: “He had returned to his home address after having been drinking the night previous.
“He was attending a family funeral the previous day.
“A short time later, the accused and Ms Ponsonby had an argument over the fact he had been out all night drinking.
“She asked him to leave.
“He began to shout and swear.
“He eventually left, but remained in the front garden.
“He began to punch the living room window while still shouting and swearing.
“He was attempting to gain entry for his car keys.
“He moved to the rear of the property and began hitting the kitchen window.
“He moved back to the front and threw a wheelie bin at a window and slipped to the ground.”
Fadian has been in a relationship with Ms Ponsonby for six years.
He kicked off after being told to get away from the house in Paisley’s Glencoats Drive.
She called police after he became aggressive.
And he was lifted after sparking a row in the street around 7am on March 2.
The court heard his partner had not wanted the case to proceed to court.
Defence lawyer Kirsty McGeehan insisted her client was working to change.
She said: “His last conviction is from 2010.
“Things have moved on significantly in his life.
“He’s in full-time employment with a cleaning company.
“They have a contract with Rolls-Royce and he has been part of that team for the last few years.
“His behaviour was unacceptable.
“He had been at a family funeral.
“He started drinking at midday and continued.
“It’s not the best way to deal with his grief.”
Sheriff Craig Harris gave him time to prove he could keep out of trouble.
He said: “Your record gives me some cause for concern.
“There’s other domestic matters on it.
“I am told you are a different person now.
“I am going to defer sentence on you to be of good behaviour.
“I am not saying if you are of good behaviour, the court will simply draw a line under it.
“A financial penalty might be considered appropriate.
“If you are in further trouble, I will, no doubt, take a much more serious view.”
Fadian has been ordered to return to the dock later this year.
