A MAN who used threatening words towards another person has been ordered to complete unpaid work.

Aaron Bell admitted that he used threatening or insulting words that would have caused Mark Longmire to fear 'immediate unlawful violence'.

The incident happened in Barrow on December 3.

At South Cumbria Magistrates' Court the 27-year-old defendant was sentenced to a community order.

Bell, of Montague Street, Barrow, will have to complete 80 hours of unpaid work over the next year.
