A man bombarded his ex with phone calls and threatened to cut her head off after she dumped him for being too clingy.
Samuel Brown, 21, admitted to three charges of harassment.
Kirklees Magistrates’ Court heard that Brown had been in a relationship with Bethany McDaid for just six weeks.
But he was clingy and she ended the relationship, with Brown harassing her as she wouldn’t talk to him.
On one occasion he went to her home in Oaklands Drive, Batley, left a bottle of alcohol on the doorstep and posted two notes through the letterbox.
Shamaila Qureshi, prosecuting, said: “They were not signed but she recognised his distinctive, childlike handwriting.”
Brown then made numerous phone calls to Miss McDaid and she warned him that she would call police.

Mrs Qureshi said:”She said she wanted nothing to do with him and he then rang her 25 times.
“He said: ‘Don’t you dare go to police, I’ll get to you before they get to me’.
“He then said: ‘I’ll kill you, I’ll cut your head off’.”
Brown then rang Miss McDaid a further 58 times through the night from a withheld number.
She also received 90 texts from him and the nature of these were said to be threatening.
The court was told that Brown, now of Whincover Gardens in Leeds, also found out the number of his ex’s boss and rang him in the early hours.
In one occasion Miss McDaid’s father was forced to restrain him in the garden of their home.
Brown was sentenced to an eight-week curfew and up to 30 days of rehabilitative activities.
He must pay £85 costs and £60 victim surcharge.
