A SPRINGBOIG woman threatened to 'punch the face off' her ex-partner.

Lorraine Duncan, 45, initially called her ex to discuss money – but it quickly turned into an argument.

Duncan threatened: "I'm going to come up to your house to punch your face off."

The complainer told the accused to stop calling, but within 15 minutes she had left nine voicemails.

When the police eventually caught up with Duncan, she told the officers she had been civil on the phone and wouldn't have had to call in the first place had her ex paid money towards a child.

The incident happened on February 20, 2018.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court this week, Duncan pleaded guilty to repeatedly phoning her ex-partner and making threats of violence.

Sheriff Paul Crozier deferred sentence further until September 17 for the case to be dealt with by Sheriff Mary McCrory.
