A 32-YEAR-OLD MAN was found by police “naked hiding in a cupboard under the stairs” in a house from where he was banned until 2023 by a restraining order.

James Neary, prosecuting, said this at Llandudno court on Monday.

Jamie Carroll, living in a hostel at Bangor, pleaded guilty to being at the home of a Penmaenmawr woman he was prohibited from seeing by an order imposed last October.

Chris Dawson, defending, said the woman was “a long term friend” who had invited him to her home.

Jailing him for 16 weeks District Judge Gwyn Jones told Carroll : “This was a wilful and flagrant disregard of an order of this court.”
