Dominic Russell

Several public criminal case records and legal proceedings are associated with an individual named Dominic Russell in the UK.

Key Facts, Dates, and Court Decisions:

• Domestic Abuse Conviction (2026): Dominic Russell, 21 years old at the time of sentencing, was convicted of engaging in a course of abusive behavior towards his ex-partner between March and December 2022. The abuse included shouting, swearing, derogatory names, aggressive and threatening behavior, punching, throttling, and pinning her to a bed. He also damaged her mobile phone and handbag, and physically assaulted her in public. At a sentencing hearing at Inverness Sheriff Court in July 2026, Russell avoided jail and was instead given a community payback order requiring 240 hours of unpaid work. A five-year non-harassment order was also imposed, preventing him from contacting the victim. His former partner expressed that the sentence felt like a "lesser punishment" that did not reflect the harm caused.
• Theft Conviction and Ban (2024): In August 2024, a Dominic Russell was jailed and banned from entering a county supermarket (Tranent Asda) for two years due to being a "prolific thief."
• Theft and Break-in Convictions (2023 & 2025):
• In December 2023, a Dominic Russell received a prison sentence for breaking into a friend's first-floor home by climbing a drainpipe and entering through a window.
• In March 2025, a thief named Dominic Russell was jailed after breaking into a Prestonpans business and stealing cash.
• Upcoming Court Appearances (2026): Public court records show two upcoming hearings for a Dominic Russell (Reference: SCS/2025-042361) at Inverness Sheriff Court:
• A hearing is scheduled for May 21, 2026, at Inverness Sheriff Court - IJC 4.
• Another hearing is scheduled for June 30, 2026, at Inverness Sheriff Court - IJC 3. Both are listed as "Sheriff Criminal" hearings.

It is important to note that while multiple sources refer to a "Dominic Russell" with criminal proceedings, the articles concerning theft and the domestic abuse case appear to refer to distinct individuals or separate incidents, given the different locations and nature of the crimes, and the specific age mentioned in the domestic abuse case. The court appearances in Inverness in 2026 are linked to the domestic abuse case, as the sentencing for that case also occurred at Inverness Sheriff Court.
