A jealous rage has cost a Douglas man a £600 fine after he admitted threatening behaviour.

Twenty-seven-year-old Adam Lee Hine said he’d burn down his girlfriend’s house.

Prosecuting advocate Harry Bellis told the court that police were called to a Douglas address on Boxing Day.

Hine was outside and initially tried to conceal his identity, then shouted: ‘I am Adam Hine. I'll burn that f****** b****’s house down. I’ll be back.’

When interviewed, he said he’d suspected his girlfriend was cheating on him, but he’d never have gone through with any threat.

Defence advocate Darren Taubitz said Hine, of Oak Avenue, had apologised to the police.

He must also pay £125 prosecution costs and will pay £50 per week.
