Restraining order
A MAN from Scunthorpe has been given community service after harassing an Andover woman.
Tristan Parkes, of Bridgewater Road, sent multiple unwanted messages to the complainant in August.
It included messages asking her to withdraw her police statement after he was accused of causing criminal damage to her property in December 2019.
The 25-year-old admitted the offences at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court last week, and also pleaded guilty to the assault of two other people in Andover on August 6, plus the criminal damage of a vehicle.
Parkes was ordered to pay a total of £200 in compensation, plus a £200 fine.
He was also given an 18-month community order, which will see him complete 30 rehabilitation activity days, and an 18-month restraining order that will prevent him contacting the victim.
Parkes has further been ordered to pay court costs of £85.
