A woman who was banned from contacting her ex after stabbing him was found hiding behind bins outside his home.
Just three days after Ashley Simpson was given a suspended sentence and a restraining order for plunging a knife into her then-boyfriend's leg and arm because he "stayed on a video call to a female friend for too long", she repeatedly tried to call him on social media. A court heard that the victim didn't answer the calls as he was asleep but found out about them the following morning.
However, just days after that failed attempt to speak to her ex, Simpson turned up at his home address and was spotted by a neighbour hiding behind a wheelie bin. The police attended and arrested the 30-year-old at the scene and she immediately admitted she was banned from being there.
