Waringstown man pleads guilty to harassment and sending a threatening message
"These are serious matters involving domestic violence,” a judge warned a Waringstown man who has pleaded guilty to harassment.
Jonathan Samuel Carson, aged 47, from Oaktree Manor appeared in the dock at Craigavon Magistrates Court.

His barrister, Ms Ciara Ennis, said the defendant pleaded guilty to harassing a woman between February 11 and 16 this year.
He also pleaded guilty to sending a message to an individual between the same dates which ‘conveyed a threat of death or serious harm’ intending that the person would fear the threat would be carried out.
Both charges have the domestic violence aggravator attached.
The district judge said that ‘down the line’ Carson would get credit for his early guilty plea.
"These are serious matters involving domestic violence and that is why it requires a pre-sentence report,” the district judge said.
The district judge said that if Carson didn’t attend with Probation the likely outcome would be custody.
The case was adjourned until May 27.
