POLICE are hunting for a ‘self-obsessed’ Machrihanish man who sent poison pen letters after he failed to turn up at court.
Joseph Carson, aged 58, sent letters and texts to an elderly couple, and their friends and neighbours in a bid to bring their relationship to an end.
Joseph admitted sending numerous letters, claiming he sent them because he was acting in the interest of one of the parties involved. He denied they broke the law by being of a threatening or abusive nature and went on trial at Paisley Sheriff Court.
