ANGER about loud late-night music prompted a man to threaten his neighbour and end up in court.

Craig Anthony Little, 31, admitted a public order offence following an incident in Carlisle on May 31.

Little was said to have pointed his finger in Matthew Middleton's direction and also made a threat of violence towards him.

The victim had been decorating his flat at the time, just after midnight, with the windows open and music playing inside.

Little, of Ellesmere Way, Carlisle, appeared at the city's crown court today. He was given a 12-month conditional discharge by Judge Peter Davies.
