A foul-mouthed bully has been warned to be of “good behaviour” after he yelled abuse and banged his ex-partner’s front door.
Campbell McKinna, 38, earned his second conviction for domestic abuse after targeting his ex Samantha Smith at her Renfrew home on June 28.

Paisley Sheriff Court heard McKinna lost the plot with Ms Smith when informal child contact arrangements had been changed.
Procurator fiscal depute Maria Murdoch told the court McKinna and Ms Smith had “verbal agreement” about when he can see their child.
She said: “At around 4.40pm on the day in question the complainer was at her home with her current partner.
“She heard a knock at the door and answered to find the accused present, and he told her he was there to pick up the child.
“She advised she would contact another family member as the child was not present.
“This angered the accused. He said, ‘Why the f*** is he not here?’ and ‘It’s my day with him.’”
Ms Smith closed the door due to “his shouting and swearing.”
The court heard she and her new partner heard McKinna “banging very loudly on the front door.”
The prosecutor added: “He continued shouting.
“He shouted, ‘You are a f****** stupid, ugly c**.’
“A witness living across the street noticed a male who appeared at times to pick up the child, and heard him shouting.
“He was heard shouting, ‘F*** you,’ before leaving.’”
McKinna was reported to cops who arrested him later that evening.”
He appeared in the dock earlier this week and pleaded guilty to a charge of public disorder where he behaved aggressively, shouted, swore, uttered offensive and derogatory remarks and banged on the door.
McKinna, of Pladda Road, Renfrew, represented himself when he appeared before Sheriff Eoin McGinty where he admitted responsibility for the offence.
He said he had been phoning the complainer but had not received an answer when he went round to her home.
He added: “She hadn’t told me about this. I phone Samantha all the time.”
McKinna said he and his ex normally “get on well” and have shared contact with their child.
He added he lives close to the complainer and he cares deeply about their child.
Sheriff McGinty told him: “You now have two
domestically aggravated convictions.
“On the next occasion if you were to come before a court, you will likely be arrested.
“I will defer sentence for six months for you to be of good behaviour.”
McKinna will return to court on February 15 next year for a review of his conduct.
