A dad’s concerns for his son landed him in hot water when he breached a court order by messaging his ex partner to find out what was going on.

Matthew Currie, 42, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to breaching his bail conditions by contacting a woman the court had ordered him not to at an address in Grangemouth on January 10.

Procurator fiscal depute Mandy Jones said there had been an incident at the school of Currie’s son and he had sent a message to his former partner asking “what’s happening with him?”.

On hearing the non-harassment order forbidding Currie from having any contact with his former partner was due to expire in May, Sheriff Maryam Labaki decided to extend the order by a further nine months.
