20-year-old arrested after being refused entry to property
A 20-year-old man has been ordered to work with probation after demanding entry to his mother’s home in the early hours of the morning.
Joshua Thomas Gilardoni, of no fixed address, admitted displaying provoking behaviour during an appearance at Douglas Courthouse.
The 20-year-old turned up at the property on Tynwald Road in Douglas, at 11pm on 12 July, and started banging on the front door and shouting: "I'll wait here until the door opens."
Police arrested him just before 4am the next morning because he was still outside with the prosecutor telling the court the occupants of the house ‘had clearly felt unnerved by that’.
A probation officer told the court Gilardoni and his mother had been in Europe together but had returned to the Island separately and he was under the impression he could return to the home.
He said he became ‘significantly distressed’ on being refused entry because he had ‘nowhere else to go’ adding that the home was regularly used ‘as a weapon’ against him.
Imposing a 12-month probation order High Bailiff Jayne Hughes told Gilardoni his actions 'would have been very annoying’.
