'Controlling' teenager bound over after threatening ex

18-year-old kicks ex's dog in anger

A controlling and jealous teenager has been bound over to keep the peace after an incident at his ex-girlfriend’s home.

Eighteen-year-old Nathan Daniel Colquitt of Auldyn Meadow Drive in Ramsey appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse charged with using provoking behaviour.

However, the court heard Colquitt had agreed to be bound over and so the charge was being withdrawn.

Prosecutor Rebecca Cubbon said Colquitt had been in a relationship with the 16-year-old for a year and lost his temper when he was dumped.

The hearing was told Colquitt was upset when she deleted him from her Snapchat and at 9pm on 14 June he went to the home she shares with her parents.

He walked in uninvited and demanded to know why she'd broken up with him, and became threatening and abusive when her mother intervened.

Miss Cubbon said Colquitt had kicked the family dog and his own car before getting into his car, revving the engine and driving off.

Magistrates bound him over for 12 months in the sum of £500 to keep the peace generally, but especially towards his former girlfriend and her family.
