Doncaster man admits threatening another in town

Robert Plant appeared before Doncaster Magistrates’ Court on September 16 charged with one count of causing harassment, alarm or distress or using threatening words or behaviour.

Plant, 33, of Bardolf Road, Cantley, Doncaster admitted both offences, which were committed on May 9 and May 18 this year in the town.

Magistrates gave Plant a community order to include a six-week electronically-monitored curfew, meaning that he must remain inside at his home address between the hours of 9pm to 6am until October 27.

Court records show that under the terms of the curfew, Plant will be allowed to go outside to an outside area attached to his property.

He was also ordered to pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £95 victim surcharge.

A second offence of threatening behaviour towards the same man, which was recorded as having taken place on May 18 this year was withdrawn.
