A 47-year-old man has been charged in court with breaching a restraining order. The man was arraigned and subsequently granted bail.
The case involves a restraining order that was put in place after the man's partner had reported an alleged assault. However, it was reported that the partner later contacted the man herself, despite the existing court order.
This development led to the man being charged with violating the conditions of the restraining order. The court's decision to grant bail means the man will be released from custody while the legal proceedings continue, subject to specific conditions set by the magistrate.
