A LUDLOW man has been handed a community order after harassing a woman with texts and calls in a bid to restart their relationship.

Tristram Wrenn appeared before magistrates in Telford in May for sentencing after entering a guilty plea to one count of harassment without violence at an earlier hearing in January.

The court heard from prosecutor Jo Fox that the 42-year-old had pursued a course of conduct which he knew or ought to have known amounted to the harassment of a woman, repeatedly sending her text messages and calls without response in a bid to restart their relationship in Shropshire between January 1 and 21.

Wrenn, of Foldgate Lane, Ludlow, was handed a 12-month community order and a 12-month restraining order banning him from contacting the victim by any means and from entering a street in Shrewsbury.

He was also fined £20 and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £185 and a £114 victim surcharge.
