Dylan MacDougall had to be forcibly ejected from a house by a teenage boy.
Sheriff Eilidh Macdonald lambasted the 25-year-old, of Galloway Drive, Inverness, when he appeared for sentence this week.
He had previously admitted committing the offences at a different address in the same street on January 4.
The court heard he was intoxicated at the time and had been asked to leave the house.
He did so only at the second time of being asked and returned again later, at which point an argument broke out with a woman there.
Fiscal depute Michelle Molley told the court that MacDougall shouted and swore at the woman before struggling with a teenage boy who had come to her assistance.
The boy pushed him outside where he picked up a clothes horse and broke the window.
Defence solicitor Rory Gowans said: "He was highly intoxicated and wants to apologise.
"When he is not working and has time on his hands he degenerates into drinking too much."
McDougall was fined £400 and ordered to pay Highland Council £100 in compensation to cover the cost of the damage to the property.
