A MAN has been made the subject of a restraining order against two people after an incident.

Kier Hill was brought to court after he was charged with using threatening words of behaviour against a man and a woman.

He admitted two charges of causing harassment, alarm or distress when he appeared at South Cumbria Magistrates' Court.

The 20-year-old committed the offences in Barrow on May 11.

Hill was due to face trial but admitted the offences and was sentenced £53.50.

The defendant, of Barrow's Ayr Street, was banned from contacting the two victims directly or indirectly for six months.

He was also told to pay a £43 surcharge and £85 in costs by the court.
