Menace harassed woman

A menace who pestered a woman has had his liberty restricted. Sam Ferguson (27), 52 Drumpark Avenue, Bo’ness, sent menacing messages to the woman which contained threats of violence between December 25, 2017 and December 26, 2017. He also breached a bail condition by contacting the woman on various occasions between March 6, 2018 and April 6, 2018, without reasonable excuse, at an address in Bo’ness. His defence solicitor said Ferguson was currently subject to a community payback order for another matter and there had been improvement in his engagement with social work services. He was placed under a 144-day 7pm-7am restriction of liberty order.
