A DALRY man who made a series of terrifying phone calls to a woman has been jailed for eight months.

Adam Cunningham, 32 - who also made repeated silent calls - admitted threatening and abusive behaviour, placing his victim in fear and alarm in Kilbirnie last month.

At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court, Cunningham, of Baidland Avenue, Dalry, also admitted a separate charge of breach of the peace, making threats and refusing to leave Dalry housing office.
