An army veteran who hounded his ex-partner with calls and messages, and hid in a bush before intercepting her as she walked to work, has been jailed.
Stephen Young, from Carlisle, had been sent to prison weeks earlier for stalking the woman, with whom he had been in an 18-month relationship.
Young had previously been served with a two-year restraining order, banning him from getting in touch with her and going near her home.
The 46-year-old admitted stalking without fear of alarm or distress, as well as three restraining order breaches, during a hearing at Carlisle Crown Court and was sentenced to 16 months in jail.
The court heard Young was released from custody on the 24 June and bombarded the woman with calls and texts in the hours that followed.
He switched to email and TikTok when she tried to block more than 150 unwanted contact attempts by him.
In one of his messages, he wrote: "One day I will win.
