A woman who abducted and attacked her partner in front of a child has been sentenced.

Samantha Carroll, 30, pounced on Lynsey McGlone at a flat in Glasgow's Royston on May 20, 2021.

Court papers state Carroll detained Ms McGlone against her will.

She locked the door, removed the keys and refused to provide them to her.

Ms McGlone's mobile phone was also seized.

She then pushed her on the body and punched her on the head.

Carroll went on to seize her by the hair.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Carroll pleaded guilty to assaulting Ms McGlone as well as breaching her bail terms by contacting her.

This included Carroll sending repeated emails, telephone calls and voicemail messages.

Her lawyer Brian Cooney told the sentencing today: "She understands this is a serious matter and knows custody will be at the forefront of your ladyship's mind standing her record and previous conviction for offences relating against the victim.

"The relationship is over."

Carroll was placed under supervision for two years by Sheriff Joan Kerr.

A five-year non-harassment order was also granted.

The sheriff said: "You pled guilty to a very serious matter.

"I think I stated at the plea that this matter was all the more serious because a young girl was present when you were acting in this way.

"I read in the report that you were so intoxicated that you didn't remember some of what happened.

"You were supposed to be in charge of the young girl."
