Colin Shadbolt has been charged with affray following an incident outside his home address in Manor Road, Dersingham, near King's Lynn.

It is understood a woman - who was not known to the defendant - had a bow and arrow pointed at her by Shadbolt.

He is believed to have appeared at the window holding the weapon before he made threats to her.

Shadbolt appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Wednesday (March 4) when he pleaded not guilty to the offence which happened on August 1 last year.

Recorder Nicola Fitches put the case into the warned list at King's Lynn Crown Court on March 8 2027 - meaning it could take place any time in the two weeks after that date.
