A DRUNKEN man kept turning up at his ex-partner's home, shouting, screaming and demanding to be let in.

Jason Miles Alexander Cropper, 33, was agitated and abusive when police turned up at Julie Bennett's home, while she was upset, shaking and crying, Burnley magistrates heard.

Cropper, of Hughes Street, Burnley, was conditionally discharged for 12 months, after admitting conduct causing harassment.

He was placed under a restraining order and must not communicate with her directly or indirectly or go within 150 metres of her home in Burnley.

Jan Darrington, defending, said Cropper did not have a great memory of what went on at the visit.
