A NORTH Ayrshire woman who sent a threatening and abusive greeting card to her ex has walked away without punishment.

As previously reported, the woman's card was delivered to her ex's home on November 30, six days after the she had ordered it from Moonpig.com.

The card was sent only a month after the pair had split after an "on and off" relationship that had lasted for six years.

In January this year, Kilmarnock Sheriff Court heard the card was opened by the father of the woman's ex.

He discovered an A3 card with an image of his son on the front, alongside screenshots of two social media messages.

One read: “He is a psycho, I am done speaking to them as soon as I get my money.”

Another added: “Game on you evil blacko. No wonder you caught chlamydia, you evil boy.

The woman - who we are not identifying - also included a message in the card telling her ex that "you reek of BO".

The 20-year-old appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court for sentencing on March 22, when her lawyer explained that she is currently on a community payback order for a previous offence.

Sheriff Colin Bissett said: "I know you are currently subject to a community payback order and that runs for another 12 months.

"Clearly there is some work for you to do and there are some underlying problems that need to be addressed.

"Given what I have heard in the facts of this case, I will simply draw a line under the matter."

The woman was admonished and dismissed.
