A MAN has been sentenced after repeatedly calling police, paramedics, and firefighters to his home.
Derek Ian Anthony pleaded guilty to five charges in January, but his sentencing was deferred until June to allow him to engage with services.
The court heard Anthony had called emergency services to his home when he did not need help on October 28 and 29, and November 10 and 21 while prohibited from doing so by a criminal behaviour order.

He was then obstructive towards emergency services on three of those occasions, refusing to let them in to his flat in Aubrey Street.
The 51-year-old also admitted failing to comply with a criminal behaviour order by not attending a scheduled appointment on November 30.
Anthony was handed a 12-month community order and 120 hours of unpaid work. He must also pay costs of £65 and a £95 victim surcharge.
