Leanne Thompson, 33, of Fairfax Avenue, Harrogate, was made subject to a domestic-violence protection order to prevent her harassing a named man. The 28-day order, which was requested by police, prohibits Thompson from intimidating and pestering the Knaresborough man and threatening or inflicting violence on or towards him.

Jonathan Bogg, 32, of Bower Street, Harrogate, was fined £50 for failing to comply with the community requirements of a suspended prison sentence. He breached the order by failing to attend two rehabilitation-activity appointments in July and October. The suspended sentence wasn’t activated because the court deemed it “unjust in all the circumstances” as the defendant was complying with the other elements of the order.

Jason Macleod, 38, of Stonefall Place, Harrogate, was given a four-month curfew after breaching a community order. He failed to comply with the order by missing two unpaid-work sessions in September without reasonable excuse. The original order - which was imposed in July after Macleod was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against a named man at the Harts Horn Hotel in Knaresborough - was revoked and replaced with a new one which includes a four-month, electronically monitored curfew which prohibits him leaving his home between 7pm and 7am daily.
