A domestic abuser who breached a protection order has been put on probation for 12 months.
Geoffrey Ronald Barber had previously been put on probation on April 14 after breaching a protection notice.
Despite that, the 39-year-old was arrested again on April 16.
Police went to the woman's home and saw Barber sitting on the sofa.
When they entered the property, they found him hiding behind a wardrobe.
Defence advocate Paul Rodgers asked the court to follow the recommendation of a probation report, and impose a further probation period.
Magistrates revoked the April probation order and replaced it with a new one.
Barber, of Mona Terrace, Douglas, must also pay £125 prosecution costs, at a rate of £10 per week, deducted from benefits.
