Kelso’s Thomas Dickson appeared on eight separate complaints mostly involving breaches of bail and being in the company of a woman in the town’s Brisbane Place.

One of the offences was committed on the same day Dickson was released by a court in Edinburgh with a specific condition not to contact the woman or go to her home.

Sheriff Richard Fife jailed Dickson for a total of 12 months, telling him: “Maybe you will learn from the sentences that you have to comply with court orders.”
