A man has admitted flouting a court order by posting a photo of himself through his ex-partner's letterbox.

Bryan Stubbs, 57, pleaded guilty to two offences when he appeared at Carlisle Crown Court today.

Stubbs accepted breaching a restraining order which was imposed by a judge in January 2014. This prohibited him from contacting Sharon Whyte indefinitely.

The breach occurred between July 21 and 24 this year, when Stubbs delivered the unwanted correspondence.

He also admitted damaging a window belonging to the same victim on July 23.

Judge Barbara Forrester adjourned the case today.

Stubbs, whose address was given as c/o Manor Place, Carlisle, is due to be sentenced at the crown court later this week.
