Bradford stalker who repeatedly breached restraining order jailed
An "obsessive" stalker who repeatedly breached a restraining order has been jailed for more than two years. Adam Schlitzke, 36, was given a community order for stalking his ex-partner in December 2024, but continued turning up at her home, Bradford Crown Court heard. On one occasion when police were called to the building, Schlitzke was found hiding in a stairwell, forcing officers to use an incapacitant spray when he jumped of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to harassment, common assault of an emergency worker, breaching the restraining order and possession of cannabis and was jailed for 30 months. The court heard how in February this year Schlitzke turned up at the woman's flat door in the early hours. He knocked on the door and when she refused to let him in he kicked the door and left. He returned later that morning and when she opened the door to let her dog out, he walked into her flat and refused to leave her Thomas Theakston said the woman was too scared to call the police and when she left to go to a friend's house he followed. Later that day, Schlitzke turned up at her flat again and when she threatened to call the police he took off his jacket and said 'call them, I'll fight them'.Two police officers arrived and when the woman asked them to check the hallways, he was found hiding behind a door leading to a one of the officers opened the door, Schlitzke lunged at him and he was sprayed in the eyes, the court heard. Jailing him for 27 months, Recorder David Kelly also revoked the previous community order and sentenced Schlitzke to an extra three months in prison for the original stalking judge said the original offence arose out of the defendant's "obsessive belief" that his ex was in a relationship with another her victim impact statement, the complainant described how she had suffered depression, anxiety and panic attacks and had been unable to work."I'm scared that one day he will hurt me or some other person because of me," she said."I'm scared that when he gets bail the situation will be the same."

B.J. Penn arrested for 3rd time in 6 days, judge denies his restraining order request
B.J. Penn was arrested for the third time in six days on Friday before being released on bail. This latest arrest stems from Penn failing to appear in court, which was a violation of his previous bail agreement when he was taken into custody on two separate occasions for abuse of a family or household member. That led to a bench warrant being issued for his arrest. Penn was hit with two bail violations from those two arrests and ultimately released from custody after paying a $2,000 bond. According to a separate report from KHON2 in Hawaii, Penn requested that the bench warrant be recalled because he claimed he missed court due to him being sick with COVID. Obviously, the judge disagreed and Penn was arrested again. A judge also denied Penn's request for a restraining order against his mother Lorraine Shin based on allegations that 'do not establish a basis for relief.' This is the second time a judge has denied Penn seeking a restraining order against his mother after making several disturbing posts on social media that several members of his family have been killed and replaced with imposters. While Penn's request was denied, his mother was granted a temporary restraining order against her son that requires him to stay at least 100 feet away from her at all times after she detailed how he inflicted 'extreme psychological abuse' on her. In the initial filing, Shin claimed that Penn lashed out against her several times in recent weeks including allegations that he put glue in a lock on her door to prevent her from gaining entry into her bedroom and also allegedly stole her mail, which led to an altercation that ended with him being arrested. In her statement to the court, Shin claimed that Penn blinded her with a bright flashlight to prevent her from calling police after she saw her mail in the backseat of a vehicle being driven by one of her son's friends. When she attempted to get the mail, Shin claims that Penn allegedly grabbed her arms and shoved her against the car, which led to his mother screaming for help from her son Reagan Penn. 'I believe my son [B.J. Penn] is suffering from Capgras delusional syndrome (a psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, other close family member has been replaced by an identical imposter),' Shin told police when filing for the restraining order. 'He believes I'm an imposter who has killed his family to gain control of the family assets. 'In the best interest for my safety, I ask the court for a six month [temporary restraining order] and have my son ordered to get medical treatment or other source of therapy.' The judge granted the restraining order with the next court date set for June 10. Penn, 46, has raised concerns about his mental health after making numerous posts about his family being murdered and replaced by imposters. The UFC legend also posted a video showing his initial arrest this past Sunday as police took him into custody for the first of three times in less than a week.

Man, 36, denies breaching restraining order against former James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli by attempting to contact her at least 11 times
A man has denied breaching a restraining order against former James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. Daniel Wilson, 36, denied 11 counts of violating the order which prohibited him from contacting the producer. The order was put in place at Isleworth Crown Court on July 3, 2017, and Mr Wilson allegedly attempted to contact Broccoli 'without reasonable excuse' on 11 dates between April 2022 and April last year. Mr Wilson, from Lambeth, appeared on video link at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to each charge. The court heard he is currently staying in hospital and that the bail conditions that had been put in place at an earlier hearing would continue. Judge Sally-Ann Hales KC told Wilson he cannot 'be in possession of any device that can access the internet' or contact Broccoli directly or indirectly. He must also live and sleep each night in a location directed by the NHS, she said. His trial was set for July 19 2027 and Judge Hales added: 'I'm afraid that is the earliest date that the court can accommodate.' She granted that Broccoli can give evidence behind screens 'given the a nature of the allegations'. Wilson was charged with acting in breach of the restraining order on April 1, April 19, May 19, May 25, June 30 and July 6 2022. He is also accused of doing so on March 10, April 12, April 17, April 20 and April 22 2024. The 007 franchise had been controlled by members of the Broccoli family, either single-handedly or in partnership with others, since the first 007 movie Dr No in 1962. Ms Broccoli, 64, and Michael G Wilson, 83, produced the James Bond franchise after the death of Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli until it was announced in February this year that Amazon MGM Studios will gain creative control. Broccoli and her half-brother Wilson produced the last nine Bond films, including Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Spectre and No Time To Die. They have been honoured with CBEs, and won the outstanding British film Bafta for 2012's Skyfall along with director Sir Sam Mendes. Amazon gained creative control of the British spy franchise following a deal which saw Eon Productions, run by Wilson and Broccoli, become co-owners with Amazon MGM Studios.

The shocking low amount James Argent was forced to pay his ex-girlfriend Nicoline Arthursson revealed after pushing her down steps in Spain
James Argent was reportedly ordered to pay his ex-girlfriend Nicoline Arthursson just £250 in compensation for attacking her. The former TOWIE star, 37, received a suspended jail sentence earlier this month after he was arrested for pushing Nicoline down some steps at their Spanish home. A two-year restraining order is in place meaning he's banned from contacting her. The former Miss Sweden, 32, suffered several injuries to her neck, arms, hand and leg in the assault. Now, court papers obtained by The Sun show James - who raked in £5,000-a-week last year - was only required to pay Nicoline a shockingly low £250 in damages. The court report reads: 'During the argument, and with the intention of harming her physical integrity, he grabbed hold of her tightly by her arm and pushed her causing her to fall down the stairs. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The former TOWIE star, 37, received a suspended jail sentence earlier this month after he was arrested for pushing Nicoline down some steps at their Spanish home 'The injured woman suffered several bruises to her neck, a bruise to her right forearm, several abrasions to her right arm, and abrasions to her right hand and on her right leg. 'The injuries she suffered healed in seven days on skin and soft tissue.' MailOnline has contacted James' representatives for comment. James is reportedly insisted he's 'feeling good' as he took to the stage at Olivia's La Cala restaurant in Costa del Sol, Spain - close to where he attacked his ex Nicoline According to The Mirror, James arrived looking glum-faced but was soon working the room with punters prior to his set where he was overheard telling them he was 'feeling good and looking forward to getting on stage'. The TV personality also shared a video on his social media, looking in very high spirits while dancing and singing with the crowd. He was welcomed on stage by the owner of the venue, former TOWIE star Elliot Wright, who spoke of their 'many trials and tribulations', the publication claims. Elliot, cousin of Mark Wright, said: 'We've been through so many trials and tribulations - when I got burnt down, he was there for me. He's been there for me and that's what friendship is - that's how I was brought up. 'You stay strong together no matter what happens. I just want to say I love you - you're one of my best friends - so get up here and make it a proper party. As the crowd broke out into cheers, Argent hugged Elliot before beginning his set.' James recently thanked his friend and colleague Albie Davies for being 'by my side' following the row with the Swedish beauty queen. The media personality took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday and shared a photo of himself with fellow singer and musician Albie who he regularly performs with. Alongside the snap, James promoted their latest gig: 'Lucky to have @albiedavies by my side the next 2 days @olivias_la_cala tonight'. James' ex-girlfriend Nicoline, 32, a former Miss Sweden, was left with cuts and bruises to her neck, arms, hand and leg, The Sun reported. The injuries sustained in her fall were listed in a new court filing. Nicoline was left with bruising to the neck and right forearm and multiple cuts to her right forearm, hand and leg. Prosecutors were reportedly pushing to charge James with wounding, which carries a jail sentence of up to nine months. However, the ex-reality star eventually agreed to the lesser offence of mistreatment as part of a plea deal. James was handed a six month suspended sentence and a restraining order that prevents him from contacting Nicoline for a two year period . The court report says: 'During the argument, and with the intention of harming her physical integrity, he grabbed hold of her tightly by her arm and pushed her causing her to fall down the stairs. 'The injured woman suffered several bruises to her neck, a bruise to her right forearm, several abrasions to her right arm, and abrasions to her right hand and on her right leg. 'The injuries she suffered healed in seven days on skin and soft tissue.' The attack took place at the couple's beachfront home in the early hours of May 5, reportedly following a dispute about Argent's friendship with ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright. James was reportedly seen flinging clothes belonging to Nicoline from the balcony of their home before aggressively escorting her to the front door. She was then allegedly pushed down some steps in front of the couple's house before falling on the concrete patio. Nicole received treatment from medics at a nearby hospital, while James was arrested shortly after midnight. The suspended sentence means James could still face a jail sentence if he reoffends - and he also has to attend a 10-week-long domestic violence course. The pioneering programme, known as Regener@r, will require him to listen to the testimony of domestic violence survivors and is designed to help men create a new, less toxic form of masculinity. James was branded 'shameless' after sharing clips laughing and singing on stage with his band at The Wickers Charity Ball in London in the wake of his suspended jail sentence. Having returned to the UK last week, James flexed his musical side as he returned to Instagram to post snaps of his performance at the fundraising event . James, who over the years has struggled with weight issues and cocaine addiction, has previously suffered two near-fatal drug overdoses as he battled against his demons. But the Essex star has been alcohol and drug free since 2022, prioritising rehabilitation, clean living and maintaining a healthy weight after having gastric band surgery. He has spoken in the past about struggling with the pitfalls of fame, including loneliness, shame amid his eating disorder, and being thrust into the public light after starring on reality series TOWIE. Fans questioned whether James's behaviour was sparked by a return to his wild drug and alcohol abusing days, which saw the reality favourite spend several stints in rehab. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, James confirmed he is still sober and the police incident was not triggered by a relapse. James said: 'I haven't relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober. I am devastated by what's happened.' James, who over the years has struggled with weight issues and cocaine addiction, has previously suffered two near-fatal drug overdoses as he battled against his demons. The Essex star has been alcohol and drug free since 2022, prioritising rehabilitation, clean living and maintaining a healthy weight after having gastric band surgery. He has spoken in the past about struggling with the pitfalls of fame, including loneliness, shame amid his eating disorder, and being thrust into the public light after starring on reality series TOWIE. During a 2020 interview with OK Magazine James discussed how his drug addiction started, saying: 'I was going to nightclubs around the age of 18… 'I would hear of some of my friends experimenting with drugs, but it wasn't until I first started TOWIE that I was getting booked up for nightclub appearances up and down the country most nights of the week, I was drinking, and I started doing drugs more and more. 'My friends and family recognised that I was having a problem and an addiction about a year and a half into TOWIE.' He also shared how his romantic relationships have suffered in the past as a result of his addiction, including with ex-girlfriend and former TOWIE co-star Lydia Bright. James said: 'When Lydia broke up with me it was a shock and the pain I was going through with the heartbreak, I started using drugs heavily to escape the feelings and the pain as well as with the insecurities with how I looked on television.' The singer had been in a relationship with model Nicoline for nine months before the violent incident occurred over the May Bank Holiday weekend. An eyewitness told MailOnline that James was heard 'yelling' before forcing the former Miss Sweden out of her apartment door in Spain, which caused her to fall down some steps. James pleaded guilty to charges of domestic violence and has been handed a two year restraining order meaning he will be jailed if he contacts Nicoline, who onlookers claimed looked 'severely hurt' following the attack. The witness, who did not want to be named, told of how they heard a loud commotion from the Costa del Sol property, which James shared with Nicoline, and has now recalled watching the 'brutal' row unfold. They said: 'We were out walking our dogs when we suddenly heard an aggressive man yelling. We saw him throwing objects from the terrace of a nearby house. We were frightened by his shouts. 'Then, the door of the house opened, and the man threw a women out and she fell down the steps, causing her to scream. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. She was severely hurt and cried out for help.' It's understood that James 'continued to throw things' as Nicoline 'lay injured' on the steps. The eyewitness continued: 'The situation escalated quickly, and we were scared and unsure of what to do. Another woman arrived to assist the injured woman, who was lying helplessly at the foot of the steps. At that moment, the man slammed the door and fled. 'Within moments, concerned bystanders had gathered to help the woman, and the police arrived swiftly.' The witness said Nicoline 'appeared to be physically and emotionally devastated.' 'We were in utter shock,' they continued, adding that they were later told Nicoline's mother had arrived and taken her to hospital. 'This woman deserves justice; she was left utterly devastated. We have never seen anyone so emotionally hurt as she was. 'What we witnessed was a brutal act of abuse... there were many witnesses and bystanders who helped Nicoline during the incident.' After tumbling down two steps, Nicoline's screams alerted neighbours to the incident, who then informed the police. She is understood to have needed hospital treatment. James was arrested shortly after the incident in La Cala de Mijas and was kept in police cells for several hours before being dragged in front of a court in nearby Fuengirola. During the hearing he admitted a domestic violence charge, with an insider telling The Sun the couple's nine-month relationship is now over. He was handed a two-year restraining order which prohibits him from being within 250 metres of Artursson. Nicoline was in court to hear Argent admit the charge where he was handed a six-month suspended sentence. Argent was also told to a complete a 'resocialisation course in the field of gender violence'. Speaking about how James is now, a friend told the Sun he is 'extremely sorry', saying: 'He said he had a row with Nicoline and that he tried to end the argument. 'James said he pushed Nicoline and that she fell. He is remorseful about what happened but is insisting he never meant any harm.'

Man who denies harassment banned from entire village
A CARLISLE man who denies breaching a restraining order has been granted bail on condition that he stays out of Dalston. Ashleigh Bell, 31, formally denied harassing the woman on May 19 when he appeared before a deputy district judge at the city's Rickergate court. His bail conditions also include a stipulation that he may not contact the woman involved. Deputy District Judge Andrew Garthwaite also explained that Bell must observe a strict exclusion zone designed to keep him away from the area of Carlisle where the woman lives; and nor can he go to Caldew School in Dalston. In the meantime, he must live and sleep at his home address in Beverley Rise, Carlisle. The case will be decided by a trial at a later date. The allegations is that Bell breached a restraining order by going to Caldew School as part of an attempt to contact the woman he is not allowed to see, despite this being explicitly forbidden by the order.
