    A 32-year-old man from Harrogate received a conditional discharge today for throwing a "brick or stone-like object" at Knaresborough Fire Station.

    Daniel Barnes, of Oakdale Glen, appeared before Harrogate magistrates charged with attempting criminal damage. It was his second appearance in court for the same offence in two weeks.

    Barnes pleaded guilty to throwing an object at the door of the fire station on February 16.

    Sean Wilson, defending, said his client had thrown a "brick or stone like object" in response to an earlier incident in which someone had driven past and said "I'm going to kill your mum".

    Mr Wilson added:

    "Mr Barnes' recent series of incidents are partly due to him possibly being evicted from his home. He was also diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at 15 and suffers with ADHD, bipolar disorder and depression.
    "His outburst was out of anger at someone in a car yelling 'I'm going to kill your mum'."

    Ms Campbell, chair of the magistrates, issued a six-month conditional discharge and ordered Barnes to pay fines amounting to £107, which will be taken out of his benefits allowance.

    She said:

    "You are not going to be punished today but I am instead putting you on a six-month conditional discharge. Should you do it again in the next six months you will face this charge plus the new charge. You need to keep out of trouble.
    "I have taken into account that you pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and have reduced the condition from nine months to six."
