An Aberystwyth man who breached a restraining order just a day after it was imposed has been handed a suspended jail sentence.

Michael Tulip, of 25 Corporation Street, appeared for sentencing before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 23 October.

The 59-year-old had initially denied a charge of breaching a restraining order imposed by Swansea Crown Court on 1 October at Maes y Mor in Aberystwyth on 2 October.

He changed his plea to guilty on 8 October.

Magistrates handed Tulip an 18 week jail sentence, suspended for 18 months.

Magistrates said Tulip has a “flagrant disregard for court orders” and said it was a “deliberate breach committed the day after the order was made.”

Tulip must also pay £85 costs.
