A man who played loud music during all hours, shouted at people in his street and made countless 999 calls to police was told by a judge to keep quiet and put some headphones on.

Mark Wolfe from Folkestone failed to comply with a community protection notice given to him by police after numerous complaints about his behaviour.

As part of the notice, 38-year-old Wolfe was banned from playing any music at his home between the hours of 10pm and 8am and was not allowed to dial 999 or 101 unless he had an emergency or a real need to contact officers.

However, despite the notice Wolfe, of St Saviours Close, continued to plague his neighbours' lives with his antics and breached it numerous times in August, September and December last year.

He was charged with two counts of failing to comply with the notice and admitted both offences when he appeared at Folkestone Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, January 11.

District Judge Justin Barron heard not only did Wolfe play loud music at all hours, he also shouted at his neighbours from his flat window as they walked along the street, but also made excessive other noises within his home at unsociable hours and made numerous unnecessary calls to Kent Police.

James Nichols prosecuting said: "There have been 63 incidents since August including playing loud music until the early hours, calling an officer on his work mobile several times and even shouting at neighbours with what sounded like Arabic language.

"On December 29 he dialled 101 and said he was Lord Burton and wanted the army or a general to respond to his complaints."

The court also heard Wolfe only had one previous conviction for assault which happened in 2011 and that police now wanted to issue him with a Community Behaviour Order, but the Crown Prosecution Service didn't feel it was the way forward to deal with his problems.

District Judge Barron was also told Wolfe had mental health problems after being involved in crash a number of years ago and that police had been working with other agencies to try and get him the support he needed, but mental health teams had not deemed him ill enough for treatment.

Wolfe also told the judge he was frightened by the voices he could hear in his head and that he suffered with PTSD.

Judge Barron said: "I understand your current circumstances, but you must keep quiet. Put some headphones on when you listen to the music.

"I also urge the mental heath service to accept that you do need help."

Wolfe was fined £80 for each breach and was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £64 and £85 costs.
