A MOLD man has been jailed for harassment and carrying an offensive weapon.

Lee David Pitman, of Hawthorn Avenue, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Friday.

The 50-year-old admitted that on December 27 at Ivy Crescent in Mold he had with him an offensive weapon - a wooden fence pole.

He also admitted two counts of harassment without violence against Michaela Mullen, the offences taking place in 2021 when he attended at her address and "made repeated unwanted phone calls."

The court heard he also made threats and abusive remarks to the complainant.

He was committed to prison because of his previous record, as well as the fact the offence was committed whilst on a community order and suspended sentence order of a similar nature.

Pitman received a total custodial sentence of 24 weeks.
