He is also accused of engaging in a course of conduct at Lauderdale Avenue, and elsewhere, which caused Mrs Webster fear or alarm by repeatedly sending her messages, following her in his car and repeatedly making telephone calls to her.

It is also alleged that on two separate occasions, at Lawson Place and at The Cedars, Webster conducted himself in a disorderly manner, and shouted and swore and punched television screens, causing them to smash.
