A WINCHESTER Road man has been made the subject of a restraining order after sending threatening messages and using abusive behaviour.

Reece Michael King admitted sending threatening Snapchat messages to another man at an address in Watson Acre in July and using abusive behaviour during an incident at the same address four days later.

The 24-year-old was subjected to a restraining order from contacting the other man when he appeared before magistrates in Basingstoke earlier this week.

King was also ordered to pay total fines of £145, a victim surcharge of £20, Crown Prosecution costs of £20 and criminal courts charges of £150.
