Lanarkshire thug told ex she was getting done in

Jordan Donald threatened his ex-partner was getting “done in” before going on to repeatedly leave disgusting voicemails riddled with insults over a period of nine days.

The 24-year-old brute admitted causing “fear or alarm” but stated his ex-partner had given him “mixed messages” about them rekindling their relationship which caused him to “lose his composure.”

Donald, of Sadlers Wells Court, in South Lanarkshire, called his ex a “tramp” and a “f*****g idiot.”

The procurator fiscal depute told Paisley Sheriff Court Donald and the woman had been in a five year relationship which came to an end in January 2021.

The fiscal depute explained: “On June 11 this year, the woman sent the accused a Snapchat message with an image of her and her friend.

“Around 8.45pm, she received a voicemail and upon opening it, she heard the accused’s voice. 

“It contained threats she was getting done in and insults stating she was a ‘tramp’ and he stated she ‘had a f***y like a burst couch.’

“At 8.50pm, a further voicemail was made by the accused calling her a ‘f*****g idiot’ and ‘a jakey, a tramp b*****d.’

“On June 18, around 1.10am, the woman received further voicemails calling her various insults including, ‘f*****g homo, f*****g clown, and fat as f**k.’

“On June 20, at 9.30am, the woman received a further call from the accused stating, ‘your f***y is f*****g bowfing.’

“Police were contacted and they arrested the accused on June 26, taking him to Motherwell police station where he made no reply to caution and charge.”

Donald’s defence agent stated this was “clearly deplorable conduct.”

He added: “The position is while the relationship had ended, prior to this, she had been telling him things about rekindling the relationship. 

“She sent a Snapchat picture of her and a male to him and he understood the male in the picture to be someone she was seeing, her new boyfriend. 

“This was a mixed message and he felt the rug had been pulled from under his feet, he felt he was being taunted. 

“That coupled with consuming alcohol resulted in him losing composure as he was upset. It was very unacceptable and he knows that.”

Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill slammed the thug stating: “You’ve been sitting smiling since you walked in to my court. I don’t know if you’re laughing at me or laughing at the narration.

“I’ve heard a lot of things in these courts, nothing surprises me, but sometimes I hear something that does.

“You said derogatory, demeaning awful comments over nine days and you’re remanded on another matter, I’m going to deal with this today.”

Donald was jailed for eight months. Sheriff Gill also imposed a non-harassment order preventing Donald from contacting or approaching his ex-partner for 12 months.
