A 31-year-old has denied stalking a woman during a 20-day period.

Daniel Jon Wallace is accused of stalking a woman between May 1 and May 20 this year.

He is alleged to have turned up at the woman’s address and let himself into the property and sent numerous messages of an harassing nature.

Wallace, of Pennine Way in the Harraby area of Carlisle, denied pursuing a course of conduct which amounted to the stalking of the woman, which the crown say he knew or ought to have known amounted to the harassment of her.

He will next appear at Carlisle’s magistrates’ court on August 28.

During the short hearing at the city’s magistrates’ court on Thursday, the defendant appeared by video link.

Wallace was remanded in custody.
