A STALKER from Hereford has been in court after sending hundreds of messages to a woman and turning up to her home uninvited.

Nathan Mackenzie appeared before magistrates in Hereford for sentencing last month after entering a guilty plea to one count of stalking without fear, alarm or distress.

The court heard the 35-year-old pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the stalking of a woman in Bromyard between May 6 and May 9, which he knew or ought to have known would amount to harassment.

Magistrates fined Mackenzie £120 and ordered him to pay court costs of £85 and a £48 victim surcharge.

Mackenzie previously lived in Hereford, but gave a new address to the court last month, which was in Bunting Lea, Bridlington, East Yorkshire.
