Perth thug challenged teenager to fight and hurled abuse at his own mother
Perth thug who challenged a 15-year-old boy to fight and then, in a separate incident, hurled abusive remarks at his own mother, was jailed for a total of nine months at the sheriff court. But when 22-year-old James Stewart, of Elcho Court, is released, he will be allowed to complete a community payback order after he subjected his then girlfriend to a terrifying ordeal stretching over three days.The court heard that the order, which involves 200 hours of unpaid work, was imposed last year as an alternative to custody after the female became “fearful for her safety”.
