A THUG who headbutted his sister was ordered to do 80 hours of unpaid work today.

Thomas Chambers, 26, struck the woman at their mother's home in Glasgow's Dalmarnock on March 8, 2024.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Chambers rang his mother's video doorbell and his sister answered it around 10.30pm.

He stated that the taxi he was in was waiting on a payment.

The woman went upstairs to find their mother to see if she had any money to pay Chambers' fare.

Prosecutor Styliana Papachristofori said: "Chambers then came face to face with his sister.

"She then tried to look out the kitchen window for their mother and as she turned, Chambers headbutted her to the right temple."

The police was contacted to report the matter.

Their mother later stated to Chambers: "You better not punch her."

Officers arrived and he was noted to be extremely intoxicated.

He was arrested and placed in a cell in order to sober up.

The hearing was told that Chambers was put under bail conditions not to contact his sister or be at their mother's address having been granted bail on April 3, 2024.

But officers attended the property on May 19, 2024, due to being called the previous night.

His sister told the police that she no longer had an issue with her brother and that he was sleeping in his bed.

Officers ran a check to find that Chambers had live bail conditions.

He informed them that he was on a tag for another matter and needed to be at the property for the 7am to 7pm curfew.

Chambers, now of Milngavie, pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman and another charge of breaching his bail conditions.

Mark Dunbar, defending, told today's sentencing that there has been no offending since May this year.

Sheriff Joanna McDonald also fined Chambers £210 as well as imposing the unpaid work order.
